Leakage of oil into the soil may occur due to several reasons. This leakage will result in the formation of soil layer mixed with oil. The mechanical soil properties may be influenced by the leaked oil. To investigate the compressibility parameters for oil contaminated sandy soil, an extensive testing program was carried out in the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory at Ain Shams University in Egypt. The oil by-products used in the testing program were kerosene, solar, and used oil. Sand samples with different relative densities were mixed with the oil by-products, using 2 % to 15 % oil contents. Consolidation tests were carried out on the prepared oil contaminated sand samples. The results obtained from the testing program are Analyzed and discussed. The effects of oil viscosity, together with its percentage on the sloughing and the modulus of deformation are studied and presented. Finally, the general conclusions of the research are pointed out.
