INVESTIGATION OF GEOTECHNICAL AND STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF COPPER-CONTAMINATED SOILS

Abstract

In this study, the geotechnical and strength properties of sandy soils contaminated with copper sulfate (CuSO₄) at varying concentrations (1000, 2000, and 5000 ppm) were experimentally investigated. Laboratory tests including grain size distribution, specific gravity, liquid limit, compaction, and direct shear were performed on both clean and contaminated samples. Results indicate that copper contamination significantly influences the microstructure and engineering behavior of the soil. A slight increase in specific gravity, a decrease in liquid limit, a decrease in optimum moisture content, and an increase in maximum dry unit weight were observed. The most notable change was a considerable decrease in internal friction angle, which is attributed to the lubricating effect of copper ions reducing interparticle friction. These findings emphasize the need for caution when designing engineering structures in copper-contaminated areas.
