Thank you for your reply to this thread.
I have came to know to determine C = 0.145*Cu ( cu is UCS value ) but i was unable to get the right reference. and for θ as well.
Thank you for your helpful response. Basically I am geotechnical engineer in an independent laboratory. We only do on site test and provide the KS value to the client. How they use I cant say it.
I was only to be sure which unit should I use so they can use it in their proper way.
Thank you...
you need to do more test on The underlying clayey soil to determine its consolidation characteristic/ swell potentials then it will be more easy for you to go ahead.
I would like to say. Determine Moisture content and then follow the Procedure ASTM D422
if there is more silt or Clay you head to Atterburg Limits to know the soil classification properly.
Can we determine Soil Shear Modulus from Direct Shear Test ( UU or CU)
as the F/A
G= _______
xl/li
where G = soil shear modulus , F/A= Stress(Mpa) and xl/li= strain (mm)
from the 3 loads normal load vs shear strength ( 1 2 3)
or from Graph ?
Thank you for all good friends clearing my concept .
Usually many people assume the kn/m3 as density thought is correct numerically.
I think Kn/m2/m is more correct.
I calculated the young's Modulus of an intact Rock by UCS. Stress/Strain at max.
so what is it's proper unit when stress is kg/cm2 and strain in mm
and is it right if I put L length is cm and deflection in mm ( Delta L mm / Li cm) or its unit must be the same? ( both are mm) ?
Here I am confused with the ks value that is ks=p/s where P (kg/cm2) is contact pressure and S (mm) is Settlement.
what is the the ks unit, According to
