| Abstract | ||
| The research aims to investigate the effect of adding chloride salts including (NaCl, MgCl2, and CaCl2) on the engineering properties of silty clay soil. Three amount percentage of salt (2%, 4%, and 8%) were added to the soil to study the effect of salts on the compaction characteristics, atterberg limits, and unconfined compressive strength. The results showed that the increase in the percentage of each of the chloride salts increased the maximum dry density and decreased the optimum water content. The liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index decreased with increasing salt content. Also the results showed that the unconfined compressive strength increased when the salt content increased too. | ||
