Trying to figure out if oxidation of nonferrous metals gives off enough heat to impact moisture content in a 20 ton pile after a sit period of 2 days. (approx. percent composition - soil 70 %, metals 20 %, 10 % rubber and foam)
Has anyone heard of compression testing being done for a mixture of dirt, moisture, nonferrous particulates <10 mm? I am trying to quantify the amount of cohesion in metallic mixtures that contain moist dirt.
