dc.description.abstractThe failure of pavement foundation materials as hydraulically bound materials is a worri-some condition facing pavement infrastructures in the developing world. Capillary action leads to swelling and shrinkage, compressive strength and durability problems, which result from sorptivity as a function of hydraulic exposure conditions. Pavement infrastructures a constantly interfaced with rise and fall of ground water level and capillary action hence a study on the sorptivity behaviour of quarry dust (QD) treated soft clay soils was carried out. Preliminary tests were conducted on the test materials for the purpose of charac-terization. The basic test results show that the test soils S1, S2 and S3 were classified asA-2-7, A-2-6 and A-7 soil groups respectively according to AASHTO classification system.Also, they were classified as poorly graded soils but test soils S1 and S2 were observed to be of high clay content (CH) according to USCS. The test soils were equally observed to be of highly plasticity and contains high free swell index properties, hence are expansive.en_US
