LI / "relative moisture" references needed
(OP)
I'm looking for published references in using Liquidity Index ("relative moisture content") to evaluate the presence of sources / paths of water / swell potential. The structure was constructed on a cut/fill site, and some of the soils are pretty expansive. The heave in one area exceeds 6 inches.
I know about Sowers & Sowers; any other references, anyone?
It has to do with a litigation assignment and an important hearing next week -

The book is "Geotechnical Engineering Investigaiton Manual", Hunt, Roy E., McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1983, ISBN 0-07-031309-1
If this helps great, or if you interested in a copy to look at I'll see what I can do.
