Abstract [en]

Sulphide soil is an organic soil characterised by high water content and poor geotechnical properties. When excavated, it oxidises and becomes an environmental hazard due to leached metals and acid drain. To avoid excavation, methods for utilizing more sulphide soil as a subgrade material are being developed. However, precise characterisation of sulphide soil is challenging, as its inherent properties make it prone to sample disturbance, introducing large scatter into geotechnical test results. To minimise the scatter in laboratory test results, a portion of the characterisation could be based on reconstituted samples. This study explores the applicability of the slurry deposition method to produce homogeneous, repeatable and representative sulphide soil samples. The reconstituted samples were assessed by comparing their initial index properties and triaxial behaviour against those of the intact samples. The index properties of the tested reconstituted samples precisely and accurately matched the average results of the intact samples. The undrained triaxial behaviour and derived critical state line of the reconstituted samples and the intact samples were found to be comparable. Neither type of sample reached critical state in drained triaxial testing. In conclusion, this study suggests that the slurry deposition method is suitable for reconstituting sulphide soil samples.
