Measurement of the defects (cracks) of clay mixing sodium chloride ‘NaCl’ with consideration of the temperature Variations

Abstract

Measurement of the defects (cracks) of clay mixing sodium chloride ‘NaCl’ with consideration of the temperature variations were measured carefully by the experiment method in the laboratory. Sodium Chloride ‘NaCl’ concentration varied in range 9.86 - 60.56% according to the temperature range 20 - 200 0 C. The research results present clear defects (cracks) that appear much more on the body sample with a large length, width, and depth according to the different temperature variations. Moreover, the Image J software was used to analyze, calculate, and draw the de fect’s shape. In addition, the Unconfined Compression Test (UCT) described the close relationship between the stress and strain, the displacement and loads of the clay mixing sodium chloride ‘NaCl’ concentration, loading, and temperature. The maximum load is compared with the lower loading and the lower clay’s resistance. Finally, these research results are good documents that contributed to the development of design, survey, and construction in geology and civil engineering to research clay near the coastal areas where clay soils are often affected by saltwater intrusion.
