Influence of Organic Matter Content on Engineering Properties of Clays by Yue Gui, Qiumin Zhang, Xiaqiang Qin, Jianfei Wang

“…Most natural sedimentary clay contains organic matter, and even a small amount of organic matter will have a great impact on the physical and mechanical properties of clay. In order to clarify the influence of organic matter content on clay soil, the illite-quartz mixture was mixed with natural amorphous peat soil (organic matter content is 50%) in different proportions for studying the influence of different organic matter contents on the physical properties (specific gravity, Gs; moisture content, w; void ratio, e; liquid limit, wL; plastic limit, wp; plasticity index, Ip) and shear characteristics (cohesion, c; friction angle, φ) of clay soil. …”
