Hi GeoPaveTraffic. Thanks for putting some thoughts on the matter I raised. Here is a sample of the data I gathered. For instance, increasing the cell pressure from 50 Kpa to 100 Kpa (with back pressure line open), the pore pressure increment is 15.5 KPa, with absolute pore pressure reading of...
Hi! I am doing saturation of ML soil with plasticity index=7. Size of the sample is 100 mm in diameter and 200 mm in height. The pore pressure (out) I am measuring is greater (sometimes more than 100% greater) than my applied back pressure at each increment of cell pressure and back pressure. Is...
Hi! If my clay is basically montmorillonite or illite clay, can I still use the standard 105 oC drying temperature for atterberg limits determination? Wouldn't this temeparature be too high such that montmorillonite/illite structure already breakdown?
Hi! I need about 80 kg of nonplastic silt for my laboratory research. Anybody knows of a company to contact, preferably in Germany or anywhere in Europe, or which can ship the sample to Germany?
