  The main cause of expansion in clay soils is the tendency of individual soil particles to attract and hold water. Clay particles have a net negative electrical charge and attract positively charged ions present in the soil-water matrix. In the attempt to attract positive ions, many layers of water molecules are held by the clay particles. These layers of absorbed water force individual clay particles away from each other resulting in soil expansion. Chemical Stabilization creates a cat ion rich environment in the injected zone. The individual clay particles negative charge is reduced and its tendency to attract and hold water is greatly reduced. The injection zone will exhibit minimal swell after the treatment. |
