Influence of aggressive inorganic acids upon the strength parameters of glacial soil

Abstract

Račkauskas V. Influence of aggressive inorganic acids upon the strength parameters of glacial soil. Geologija. Vilnius. 2014. Vol. 56. No. 3(87). P. 94–106. ISSN 1392-110X. This paper presents a review of monoinfluence of particular inorganic acids – hydrochloric (HCl) and sulphuric (H₂SO₄) acids – upon glacial soil which covers almost a half of the territory of Lithuania. The results of investigations on how inorganic acids influence clayey soil, the object of research and methods are introduced here, as well as the determined background values of strength parameters of glacial soil. The influence of these acids upon the strength parameters of glacial soil is evaluated and an analysis of the influence of chemical pollution by the above mentioned inorganic acids on the change of soil properties is presented.
