What is it about?
In this study, the effect of biochar on the compression and swelling characteristics of two clayey soils, was studied by conducting standard consolidation tests and no-load swelling tests. The compression curves and swelling parameters of modified clays with different biochar content (0, 0.5, 1, 2%, w/w) and biochar particle sizes (< 0.15, 1–2 mm) were obtained. The microstructure of the biochar-clay mixture was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy test.

Why is it important?
In recent years, biochar has been widely used in environmental and geotechnical engineering applications, but minimal studies have been done on its influence on soil engineering properties. This study, the effect of biochar on the compression and swelling characteristics of two clayey soils, was studied by conducting standard consolidation tests and no-load swelling tests.
