Design of Tunnels in Swelling Soils: Determination of Swelling Soil Properties
Keyword(s):
This paper includes a study of soil swelling for tunnels projects. It is performed using a flexible odometer which authorizes a lateral deformation of the soil sample during swelling and allows the measurement of the lateral swell pressure. The paper is composed of three parts. The first one concerns analysis of swelling phenomenon in tunnel projects. The second one presents the swelling odometer which was used in this work. The last one presents results obtained on clay and discusses the influence of the swelling condition on both axial and lateral soils expansion.
