Effect of Water‐Content Variability in Design of Clay Embankments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of the variability of the as‐compacted field water content are examined for a clay of medium to low plasticity. This soil had been studied in great detail earlier, and a large data base of parameters for the ...
New Basis for Earthwork Specification for Clay Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study to improve the prediction of the in‐service behavior of several field‐compacted Indiana soils. The data base was created from testing of field‐compacted samples taken from test ...
Discussion of “<i>Estimation of Subgrade Resilient Modulus from Standard Tests</i>” by E. C. Drumm, Y. Boateng‐Poku, and T. Johnson Pierce (May, 1990, Vol. 116, No. 5)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Moisture Curve of Compacted Clay: Mercury Intrusion Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents procedures with which one can predict the equilibrium water content, in-service, of a clayey pavement subgrade. Mercury intrusion and pore-size distribution of a specimen of the soil at the in-service ...
Fabric of Field‐ and Laboratory‐Compacted Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The fabric of a medium plastic clay soil has been characterized by the distribution of the sizes of the void spaces in the soil. The soil has been compacted in the field by static—and vibratory—segmented pad rollers with ...
Closure to “Resilient Characteristics of Dune Sand” by Woojin Lee, N. C. Bohra, and A. G. Altschaeffl
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Resilient Characteristics of Dune Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Resilient-modulus tests were performed on a laboratory compacted dune sand following the standard test procedure described in the 1982
Closure to “<i>Moisture Curve of Compacted Clay: Mercury Intrusion Method</i>” by S. Prapaharan, A. G. Altschaeffl, and B. J. Dempsey (September, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 9)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Effect of Disturbance on Pressuremeter Results in Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The installation of the pressuremeter probe in the ground causes disturbance to the adjacent soil, resulting in the formation of an annular zone of remolded soil around the probe. In the conventional pressuremeter test, ...
Closure to “<i>Effect of Disturbance on Pressuremeter Results in Clays</i>” by S. Prapaharan, J. L. Chameau, A. G. Altschaeffl, and R. D. Holtz (January, 1990, Vol. 116, No. 1)
