Abstract
Now in China, more and more clay-gravel mixtures in clod regions have to be used in a variety of geotechnical applications. Compaction state of compacted soil mixtures is closely linked to the properties of permeability, stiffness and strength. However, compaction behaviors under different temperature conditions are seldom studied. In this study, a series of dynamic compaction tests on clay-gravel mixtures under normal (room temperature) and cold temperature (−10 °C) were conducted to investigate the effect of gravel content and temperature on the compaction behaviors. The experimental results show that the compaction behavior under cold temperature is significantly different from that under normal temperature. The finding has potential implications for the construction of earthworks in cold or seasonally frozen regions.
