saturation the dry sand for triaxial test
saturation the dry sand for triaxial test
(OP)
Hello,
Let say, I have been carried out a triaxial test in sand.
I have prepared the dry sand and applied the back pressure for saturation the sample. I applied the cell pressure and back pressure with 10 kPa diffrence, i.e. 100/90 kpa, 200/190 kPa, and so on.
However, I already applied the back pressure of 490 kPa but the B value is only 0.60. I am wondering ifthere is something wrong.
Do any one have any comment or suggestion to saturate the dry san. in triaxial cell.
Awaiting for comment.

I have also found some similar argument in Head Vol.3

If this does not work read Nader and Clough (1985), "new proc. for saturating sand specimens" JGE Vol 110, NO. 9. This method works great
