Hello,
I have recently been approached by a client to provide electrical resistivity testing across an in-tact length of 2-inch rock core. I am not familiar with this procedure. Does anybody know of any standard for this type of testing? Thank you in advance for any information.
All,
Looking to increase my knowledge of frost action, especially in terms of how frost behaves and propagates horizontally. It seems as though the growth of ice lenses is usually explained as behaving predominantly vertically through capillary action in frost susceptible soils, resulting in...
I am working on a large site with several proposed new single story buildings and roadways. Construction will be phased in conjunction with keeping existing buildings (several of which are within footprint of proposed structures) on site open. Native soils consist of dense to very dense glacial...
I recently monitored pile driving for two small bridge abutments. The piles were end bearing, relatively small (steel HP 10x42) and lightly loaded (to be dynamically tested to 100 kips). Our test borings identified 10 feet of fill/organic silt over 10 feet of stiff clay over 20 feet of very...
Hello:
I have been playing around with an old fulcrum/lever arm style consolidation frame (Soiltest C-280) with floating ring setup. In discussion with colleagues who have (historically) used the same setup, they mention the use of a 1 inch calibrated steel block placed between the porous...
