Abstract
An experimental investigation into collapse behaviour of Collapsible Soils in Pakistan is reported. Seven soil samples from two different places viz along Chashma Right Bank Canal (CRBC) and outskirts of Rawat, a small town near Rawalpindi were selected for this study. The investigation included the development/determination of relationship between index properties of such soils and magnitude of collapse apart from the routine testing for index properties and studying the compression behaviour. Double oedometer test was carried out for studying compression characteristics. To ascertain the collapsibility of soil, collapse potential test and sensitivity tests were also carried out.
