A simple laboratory method to simulate calcite-bonded loose-structured soil samples for collapsibility study

Abstract Calcite is one of the commonest bond elements in natural collapsible soils. Where calcite occurs in significant amounts, the soils are considered calcareous. Collapsible soils are characterised by high porosity, high-void ratio, and low-dry density, with the soil particles held together in...
