Abstract Completely weathered phyllite (CWP) soil is a kind of special soil with high swell potential, while red clay is a
special soil with high shrinkage. This means that these two kinds of special soils are usually not suitable for direct
use as subgrade fill. To reduce the swell index of the CWP soil and the shrinkage of red clay at the same time, it
was proposed to blend the CWP soil with red clay to improve their basic characteristics. A series of swell index
tests and dry-wet cycle tests of the blended soils have been… More >
