Hello.
Just working here in the lab today and testing organic soils -- one of the tests is determining the organic content. Everyone in the office is complaining about the smell and I am just wondering if there's anything harmful or if it's just a bad odor? I'm burning it off on a stove top...
Hello!
I've been reviewing the standard for the direct shear (D3080) to try and figure out what the purpose of submerging the sample in water is for. Is it to replace the excess pore pressure with water as the sample is consolidated?
