- Geotechnical behavior of a tropical residual soil contaminated with gasoline Óscar Echeverri-Ramírez Yamile Valencia-González Daniel Eduardo Toscano-Patiño Francisco A. Ordoñez-Muñoz Cristina Arango-Salas Santiago Osorio-Torres Ingeniería Antioquia Batholith Tropical residual soil Soil contaminations by gasoline The infrastructure for hydrocarbon transportation has grown sig nificantly to supply the needs of a greater number of settlemen ts; however, due to problems in the supply networks, accidental spills or leaks can contaminate the underlying soils. This paper addresses soils contaminated with gasoline, and it analyzes the changes that occur in a tropical residual soil after contamination. Analysis w as carried out by using specific laboratory tests to characterize the type of soil (Miniature Compacted Tropical Classification, Suction, Pin hole Test, Collapse Potential, X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Micros copy, pH determination) and by performing traditional tests (na tural humidity, specific gravity, granulometry, Atterberg limits, direct shear, etc.). These tests were conducted with samples in their natural state, as well as contaminated samples, in order to elucidate possible variations in the mechanical characteristics of the material. 2015 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49637154004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.190 Vol.82
