STRENGTH EROSION OF A FINE-GRAINED GYPSIFEROUS SOIL DURING SOAKING

Abstract

Torrance [8] carried out direct simple shear tests on marine clays, and he found out that the shear strength of a leached marine clay was less than that of a similar high salt marine clay. Recent advances in irrigation have made it possible to open up many of the gypsiferous regions to farming and industrial development. These developments include industrial and urban complexes, and require the use of water in large quantities.
