The effect of expanded shale lightweight aggregates on the hydraulic drainage properties of clays

Fine grained soils, in particular clays of high plasticity, are known to have very low values of hydraulic conductivity. This low permeability causes several problems related to vegetation growth and stormwater runoff. One way to improve the permeability of clay soils is by using coarse aggregates a...
