I am a geologist and need some engineering assistance regarding granular soil and their depth. I know fine grained soils (clay) becomes hard (increased consistency) with an increase in depth due to a process called gravitational compaction. What I am interested in knowing is there something...
I am not an engineer (I'm a geologist) but need some advice/information from professional engineers regarding the compaction of soils with an increase in depth. It would appear to be, that a soil (granular or cohesive) would increase in density with an increase in depth due to the load of the...
