Why do we get bad results for aggregates abrasion
inspite of good condition of LA abrasion machine
and good calibaration record???.Please give ur
suggestions. Mohammed A Sharief
Thanx Sean and Ron.I do have a Civil Engineering degree from India.But it has been long time I graduated.Currently I am a Staff Technician with 3years experience in Asphalt,Concrete and Soils at Mactec Engineering(Law Engineering)Birmingham.I have not done Triaaxial,Permebility and Consolidation...
I am interested to learn how to perform Triaxial,Permeability and Consolidation.Is there any traning courses or videos or any software where I can learn. Mohammed A Sharief
This is in response to Asheyari response
Whatever u suggested is against ASTM
procedures.The way u suggested is not
correct.D1140 uses hot oven and D422 air dry samples. Mohammed A Sharief
I would like to know whether we need to run
D1140 (200 wash) when we are already doing
200 wash while we run the hydrometer(D422)
while we do soils classification.

The oven for sulfur capping compound started burning due to overheat.I tried to cool it down with wet burlap but the fumes were so strong that some of the fumes got it into my nose and accidently inhaled it.I would like to know whether if there r any health affects and if so what is the best...
Profile of Civil Engineers World Wide is very high.It is very high in USA,UK,Australia and all countries in the World.There should be no doubt about this. Mohammed A Sharief

We have started testing it initially for 10 cylinders.It showed D fracture even when the cylinder is perpendicular to the plane.I wanted to know that whether the fracture is important or not.And what is the comparison in rates with reference to capping and neoprene caps.W have used neoperene...
I have already tedested it.The fracture is entirely different.What we get A farcture for a cylinder we r getting D fracture.The ASTM also says that it will damage the compression machine.Also the cylinders r to be tested for perpedicularity.In that way it is not working fine.I want Ron to reply...
