Consolidation characteristics of compacted clayey soils treated with various biomass ashes by Muhammad Abu-Bakr Jamil, Kimitoshi Hayano, Yoshitoshi Mochizuki, Cong Li

“…Thus, different mechanisms can result in different consolidation parameters of PKSA- and RHA-treated clays. However, both the PKSA- and RHA-treated clays indicate reduced coefficients of volume compressibility and permeability at a compaction degree of 95 %, with a stabilizer-to-clay ratio of up to 15 % by dry mass. …”
