I am not sure if I am writing on correct section. Does any one know at what pre sure air dissolves in water. As far as I know it's around 200 kpa is that correct

Fig-1 Readings from last night http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=8877ab8a-381a-4a53-b339-b1 Please ignore this attachment its wrong figure. Yes drain line is draining to the flask which is open to the atmosphere. Yes thats the total amount of water gone into the sample in 24...

For better understanding I am uploading the set-up image. And readings. There was a variation in readings from 6pm last night to 10 am this morning. (There is no temperature control where the equipment is and last night oven was working. Tech told me that air-conditioning goes of at night...

fattdad I would like to thank you for your contributions.

I will try to explain the compaction procedure I am following Soils that was extracted from the site and sealed in plastic bags was chopped in to small pieces from 10mm to 15mm. This was done because in-situ ped size will be too large to avoid scale effects within the triaxial apparatus. From...

Image of sample compacted at its optimum moisture content. So you can see that there is empty gaps within the soil.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c3a5a031-74b7-4280-b174-7a8020483778&file=Iphone_Pic_058.jpg

Aim is to Characterise and understand the behaviour of compacted clay pads. Drained and undrained laboratory element tests will be performed on saturated samples to characterise the behaviour(Critical state soil mechanics). We will test laboratory compacted and insitu compacted (obtained by...

hi everyone I am working on a phd project where we \re using Lambeth group clay (LL 60% PL 26% OMC 19% particle density 2.7)I have collected disturbed samples from site and remolded them into 100mm dia 200mm length mould applying specific compaction effort. I am trying to saturate the sample in...

fattdad thankyou for your respond. Can I do anything before putting sample into triaxial cell? or do you know any other methods of saturating sample.
