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...
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...
