Thanks for the responses.
GeoPaveTraffic - Agreed about no lab testing normally being performed, however for this scenario we are potentially dealing with a higher consequence structure and are aiming to have all gradients at or below 0.3. I was just wondering if there was lab testing to...
Hello,
I am working on a project where we are looking to construct a dam with rockfill shell over normally consolidated silty clay material.
Preliminary seepage modeling indicates locations have hydraulic gradients up to 0.4-0.45, however we were looking to have all values below 0.3.
Is...
Thanks for the replies.
BigH - The site was located in the Northwest Territories in Canada. There are a number of other sites within the area that have had cone/vane info done (gradation wise, similar materials)and it did not show this drastic difference between the CPT/Vane. It had higher...
I was reviewing some data from a recent site investigation program and noticed that the calculated undrained shear strength for our lakebed sediment is giving us values 10-20x the readings of our vane data from the same unit. We have completed 15 holes and have found the same results at various...
