Hello all,
According to the ASTM D4767, the maximum particle size for the triaxial specimen should be less than 1/6 diameter. Can you share your experiences about this, whay sieve do you use for a 2.8'' remoulded specimen and 4'' remoulded specimen.
I would appreciate your comments.
Best...
Oh thanks Ron, but i had a my mistake when i wrote it here. the intial specimen weight for this specimen is 1067.6g with all the values i said before.. dry mass:825.48g, Gs:2.6 and total volume:532.70cm3.
And with this initial weight, i do the calculation: saturation percentage is...
Hi all,
Thanks for your answers!
When i mean that the B parameter was 0.75, it means that we started to saturate and we had 0.74 for one specimen and 0.8 for other specimen, but we increased the pressures and we got 0.97 for B parameter.
So it strange that initial saturation is so high, and...
Hi,
Thanks for your comments, these are the values that we had from the specimen.
Initial mass: 1019.8g
Dry mass: 825.48g
MC:29.33%
Gs:2.6
I know that a saturation result more than 100% can not be, but I am trying to understand and find the error, and maybe could be the measure content...
Dear all,
I would like your comments about clays with over 100% saturation calculations. What could be the reason for this escenario?, if the specific gravity has been determinated, water content and dry density. What could be wrong for this. The results from the measurements have been double...
Dear all,
Please I am having some problems with the program Sigma CU from GEOTAC since this was reinstalled again in the computer.
We have entered the calibration values but it still shows error messages.
In the error file says: Error reading External Load Cell
And when i open the program...
