| description abstract | Recent work conducted on a salt‐encrusted, surficial soil, known as sabkha, indicated that the conventional oedometer apparatus was incapable of detecting the collapse potential. This study proposes a modification to the conventional oedometer to allow the water to percolate through the soil sample under a constant head. Two tests were conducted on undisturbed sabkha specimens to establish the reliability of the modified oedometer. Precolation of water has commenced at a pressure of 233 kPa and at the overburden pressure. Results of these tests indicate that sabkhas have a collapse potential that can be classified as trouble. This collapse is primarily ascribable to the dissolution of sodium chloride ( | |
