Effect of heat treatment on the strength of clayey soils

Many studies have been done on the effects of preheat on various soils. The literature on the relationship of hardening nature to heating temperature indicated no general agreement on the firing temperature necessary for thermal stabilisation of soils. Information given by other authors is insufficient to define a practical system for construction engineering through the thermal stabilisation method. Nonetheless, it seems that a firing temperature of 200 degrees celsius to 500 degrees celsius could be the indicative range to develop sufficient resistance to water softening to justify use of the method in road construction engineering. This investigation is therefore designed to obtain specific information on the effect of heat on the strength of clayey soil. A wide range of temperature (100 degrees celsius to 700 degrees celsius) was selected to investigate the relationship between heating temperature and strength development.
