Role of diatom microstructure in determining the atterberg limits of fine-grained diatomaceous soil

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Different diatom species also affect the plasticity properties of the DS; for example, DS contains diskshaped diatoms that cause higher plastic and liquid limits than that contain tube-shaped diatoms. The study reported herein aimed to investigate the Atterberg limits of DS as affected by diatom content, diatom crushing, and pore fluid ionic concentration. Next, the effects of the diatom content, diatom crushing degrees, and pore-fluid NaCl concentration on wL, wp, and IP were studied, thereby revealing the relationship between the microstructure and the plasticity properties of DS. To ensure that the water . . .
