Chemical stabilization of soil is an effective improvement technique because it reduces the ability of the soil to swell. We added different proportions of magnesium chloride to an expansive clay and performed swelling, geotechnical characterization, and mechanical strength tests. The results show that the swelling potential and swelling pressure of the expansive soil were significantly decreased by the addition of magnesium chloride (MgCl2). This treatment also improved the physical and mechanical characteristics and microstructure of the soil. The soil's plastic limit, shrinkage limit, cohesion, and internal friction angle all increased linearly with the addition of the MgCl2 stabilizer. However, we observed that the liquid limit of the soil decreased as the level of magnesium chloride was increased.

The study of collapsible soils that are generally encountered in arid and semi-arid regions remains a major issue for geotechnical engineers. This experimental study, carried out on soils reconstituted in the laboratory, aims firstly to present a method of reducing the collapse potential to an acceptable level by treating them with different levels of bentonite–cement mixture while maintaining the water content and degree of compactness, thus reducing eventual risks for the structures implanted on these soils. Furthermore, a microscopic study using scanning electron microscopy was carried out to explore the microstructure of the soil in order to have an idea of the phenomena before and after treatment. The results show that treatment with a bentonite–cement mixture improves the geotechnical and mechanical characteristics, modifies the chemical composition of the soil, reduces the collapse potential and the consistency limits. The microstructural study and the X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis clearly illustrate an association of elementary particles in the soil aggregates, whereby the arrangement of these aggregates leads to the formation of a dense and stable material.

For the purpose of this paper, laboratory tests on clay samples, collected at the Słupsk Bank with the use of a vibrocorer, were carried out in the Geotechnical Laboratory of the Maritime Institute in Gdańsk. This study aims to determine the geotechnical properties of the above-mentioned soils. Oedometer and classification tests were conducted on the selected specimens. Strain properties, secondary compression index and undrained shear strength were determined for the material. The impact of vibrocoring as a sampling technique on the obtained results and recommendations for application of these results were also described.

Na potrzeby niniejszego artykułu, w Samodzielnym Laboratorium Geotechniki Instytutu Morskiego w Gdańsku, przebadano próbki iłów pobranych za pomocą wibrosondy z obszaru Ławicy Słupskiej. Celem badań było określenie parametrów geotechnicznych wspomnianych gruntów. Przeprowadzono badania edometryczne oraz wykonano badania klasyfikacyjne. Dla wybranych próbek określono parametry odkształceniowe i wyznaczono współczynnik ściśliwości wtórnej oraz określono wytrzymałość na ścinanie w warunkach bez odpływu. Opisano również wpływ pobierania próbek wibrosondą na uzyskane wyniki oraz pewne zalecenia dotyczące wykorzystywania wyników.
