    Maximum particle size -Triaxial

    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...

    Over 100% saturation for clays

    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...

    Over 100% saturation for clays

    Hi, Thanks for your reply, but i need to clarify: Gs is the specific gravity=2.6 and the Total volume of the specimen is 532.7cm3 Regards, Cristina

    Over 100% saturation for clays

    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...

    Over 100% saturation for clays

    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...

    Over 100% saturation for clays

    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...

    TRIAXIAL TESTING - SIGMA CU PROGRAM

    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...
