Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of disposing commonly used detergents, namely Sodium Hypo-Chlorite, with a commercial name (Clorox), and Quaternary Ammonium Chloride commercially, known as (Flash), to soil on some of the geotechnical properties of different soils selected from three different locations in the northern part of Jordan. To achieve the goal of this research, two cohesive soils (Soil I and II) were selected.The initial physical properties of the selected soils including optimum moisture content, maximum dry density, grain size distribution, and cohesive soils unconfined compression tests were determined. Several samples were prepared by mixing the soil with different percentages of detergents (Clorox and Flash) and their effects were studied by conducting different experiments such as the modified proctor compaction test, the unconfined test and Atterberg limits test. The results indicated that as the percentage of detergents increased, the plasticity index is slightly increased but the maximum dry density, water content and shear strength of cohesive soils (Soil-I and Soil-II) were decreased.
