Is there a table or a standard empirical chart that has information of horizontal modulus Es for different soils? I do understand that Es is based on p and y, but is there a table that simplifies this issue if load values are not known?
Any help is appreciated.
Is using a hand probe a good method to determine foundation bearing capacity? For MSE wall foundation, what would you recommend to be used to check/calculate bearing capacity?
Can a soil be classified Silty lean Clay(CL) by visual observation in the field. One of my friend argues that this must be only lab determined and not in the field. Is this acceptable by ASTM standard? or should this be classified as Silt and Clay.
