Paper Title
Mechanical Behavior of Clay Reinforced by Layers of Polymer
Abstract
In this work, we suggest the use of polymers as additives to coherent soils in order to know their influence on the
latters, an experimental study in the laboratory was carried out on a clayey soil reinforced by layers in polymers. Our
findings clearly showed that the adding of a small percentage of polymer increases sensibly the inflated character of the
latter. This conclusion is completely justified by the experimental planning of the essays realized by the laboratory.
Key words - Soil Stabilization; Polymer; Expansive clay; compressibility.
