Not really sure what you mean by upside-down V or U. We don't do single point proctors; all have a minimum of 4 points and we typically repeat every 1000 m3 or so.
I'm looking for a method to quantify the sensitivity of a soil to changes in moisture content during compaction. Where I work a wide variety of soil types are used for bulk filling, but predominantly they are clean granular soils or they are silt to sandy silt tills. During the wet season we...
Thanks for the input. I think the highest priority is to dry the soil to a compactable moisture. There is no specific area this soil is currently destined for. It would likely be placed under parking or warehouse construction. I guess I'm looking to determine is what the quickest way of drying...
I have a project where we plan to use a dredged marine soil as structural fill and plan to use lime or cement to modify/stabilize it for use. I've performed a number of tests on the native material (hydrometer, proctor, atterberg limits, and moisture content) to classify it and to be able to...
We have a large site with a substantial amount of silty clay (some sand) soil that needs to be reused onsite, however it is currently well above optimum moisture for compaction. The soil is currently in a number of stockpiles and we've thoroughly measured it's moisture throughout (~25%). We do...
As the title states I am looking to convert the CBR value of a poorly graded sand and gravel into a modulus of subgrade reaction to be used in foundation design (not pavement design). I have found some information related to this while searching through this forum and others, however I am...
