Additives to limit slaking in compacted shales
Abstract
Shale constitutes about 50 percent of all the rock types exposed on the earth’s surface and comprises 70 percent of all the sedimentary rocks ( Ackenheil, 1969 ). In the southern portion of the State of Indiana (U.S.A.), shales are commonly encountered in construction as they often outcrop or are under a shallow overburden.
