Abstract

This research has been conducted in order to evaluate the compression index of Gypsiferous soil. A series of consolidation experimental tests with different percentage between 5% - 20% of gypsum added to the soil have been performed. From results. It had been seen that with increasing percentage of gypsum the compression index increased, with a maximum percentage of 30.4%.
