چکیده

با توجه به اهمیت مسائل زیست‌محیطی و کاهش مصرف انرژی، استفاده از مصالح ضایعاتی برای بهبود خصوصیات مهندسی خاک‌ها در سال‌های اخیر به طور گسترده مورد توجه محققین قرار گرفته است. در این تحقیق تأثیر الیاف ضایعات موکت بر خصوصیات تراکمی، هیدرولیکی و تحکیمی خاک رس کائولینیت بررسی شده است. آزمایش‌های تراکم استاندارد، نفوذپذیری و تحیکم یک بُعدی بر نمونه‌های خاک حاوی 5/0، 1 و 2 درصد الیاف (نسبت به وزن خشک خاک) انجام شد. به منظور بررسی اثر طول الیاف‌ها بر نتایج، طول الیاف‌ها از 6 تا 30 میلی‌متر تغییر کرد. نتایج نشان داد حضور الیاف ضایعات موکت موجب کاهش دانسیته خشک حداکثر و افزایش درصد رطوبت بهینه نمونه‌ها می‌شود. همچنین الیاف موکت، نفوذپذیری نمونه‌ها را افزایش و نشست‌پذیری خاک رس و شاخص تورم آن را کاهش داد. به طوری که شاخص فشردگی و شاخص تورم برای نمونه با 2 درصد الیاف با طول 30 میلی متر به ترتیب 35 و 64 درصد کاهش یافت. وجود الیاف موکت در خاک موجب افزایش سرعت تحکیم خاک رس می‌شود. با بررسی نتایج به دست آمده مشخص شد که تغییرات خصوصیات تحکیمی خاک رس با مقدار الیاف نسبت به طول الیاف بیشتر است.

چکیده [English]

Due to the importance of environmental issues and reducing energy consumption, the use of waste materials to improve the engineering properties of soils has been widely noticed by researchers in recent years. This research investigates the effect of carpet waste fibers on the compaction, hydraulic, and consolidation properties of kaolinite clay. Standard compaction, falling head permeability, and one-dimensional consolidation tests were performed on soil samples containing 0.5, 1, and 2 percent of fibers (relative to the dry weight of the soil). In order to investigate the effect of the fiber length on the results, the length of the fibers was changed from 6 to 30 mm. The results showed that the presence of carpet waste fibers decreases the maximum dry density and increases the optimal moisture content of the samples. Also, the carpet fibers increased the hydraulic conductivity of the samples and reduced the settlement of clay soil and its swelling index. So that the compression index and swelling index for the sample with 2% fibers with a length of 30 mm decreased by 35 and 64%, respectively. The presence of carpet fibers in the soil increases the speed of clay consolidation. From the obtained results, it was found that the changes in the consolidation properties of clay are more significant with the content of fibers compared to the length of the fibers.
