主 题：Activity Relative Activity Surface Activity Cation Exchange Capacity Specific Surface Termite Mound Soil
摘 要：This study is to determine the activities and correlations in the fundamental properties of the termite mounds soils Cubitermes spp and Macrotermes sp. The Intrinsic properties depend on the mineralogy, organic composition and texture of soil. Grain size, Atterberg limits and soil blue values are geotechnical properties that were used to characterize the two soils. On the basis of the geotechnical properties, specific surface area, cation exchange capacity, relative activity, surface activity and soil activity were determined. The correlations obtained in the intrinsic soil properties are linear and polynomial fits. Indeed, the relationship between the plasticity index and the blue value of a soil on the one hand and between the specific surface area and the cation exchange capacity on the other hand, is a linear fit for all soils in general. The relationship between plasticity index and specific surface area is a linear fit for the soils (C, M). Correlations in intrinsic soil properties that have a coefficient of determination close to 1 can be used in geotechnical engineering to predict one of the two desired parameters.
