Abstract
En este trabajo se estudian comparativamente las diferencias en la
compresibilidad de arcillas de origen continental, pero con historias geológicas
distintas: la Arcilla de la Armuña y la Arcilla del Viso. La primera, de edad
cuaternaria, está formada principalmente por esmectita e illita, y muestra una
plasticidad muy elevada; la segunda por su parte, es una arcilla rígida
sobreconsolidada y de edad miocena, con un menor contenido esmectítico en su
mineralogía. En condiciones de compresibilidad unidimensional, y tomando como
referencia el comportamiento de las muestras reconstituidas, se observa como la
Arcilla del Viso en su estado natural es más rígida y sus curvas de consolidación
muestran tendencias propias de materiales arcillosos sobreconsolidados, con
valores de Cc de 0,255, mientras que reconstituidas pasan a Cc* de 0,455; para
la Arcilla de la Armuña los valores son sensiblemente más elevados, 0,51 y 1,1
respectivamente. Las curvas log σ´v-e obtenidas para esta última arcilla son propias
de suelos normalmente consolidados, pero normalizadas mediante el Iv, void
index, la posición relativa entre la curva intrínseca y la natural es similar a la de
otras arcillas sobreconsolidadas, y difiere de lo esperado
A comparative study of the unidimensional compressibility of two clays of continental origin but with different geological history is presented: the Armuña Clay and the Viso Clay. The former is a quaternary deposit of smectite and illite, with very high plasticity; the latter is a miocene overconsolidated clay of intermediate plasticity and with less smectite content. Under unidimensional compression, and taking the behaviour of reconstituted samples as a reference, it is observed that the natural samples of the Viso Clay are more rigid and their consolidation curves show trends of overconsolidated clay materials, with Cc values of 0.255, while when reconstituted Cc* changes to 0.455; for the Armuña Clay, the values are noticeably higher, 0.51 and 1.1 respectively. The log(σ'v) - e curves for this latter clay are typical of normally consolidated soils, but normalized by the Iv, void index, the relative position between the intrinsic and natural curves is similar to that of other overconsolidated clays, and differs from than expected
