Abstract

Marly soils have a relatively good resistance in the dry state, but these characteristics tend to significant degradation in contact with water (Ouhadi & Yong, 2003, Hosseini et al. 2012). The Failure to identify the behavior of clayey fine-grained soils, and especially marls, can challenge the structures constructed on such soils. Because of the extent and distribution of this type of soil in many regions of Iran, especially in southern Iran, and the high potential for the construction of hydraulic structures in these areas, it is necessary to study the behavior of these soils. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate the geotechnical characteristics of marl soils and provide a solution for improving the engineering properties of these soils.
