Hello all:
I am planning a field exploration program in an area with v. soft - soft clay. I would like to do field vanes as well as take undisturbed tube samples. I do not have much experience with field vanes, and was wondering how people generally sequence vane tests and tube samples as...
I'm trying to expand my personal geotechnical library which got me thinking:
"Which texts/manuals/proceedings, etc. should no geotechnical engineer (or engineering geologist) be without?"
I'll be interested to hear different opinions on this one.
Geocontractor,
The water content of the soil is approx 20-40%
If the columns are begun at depth, can they be stopped before reaching the surface or a different stratum? We want to surgically treat this problem clay.
Does anyone have experience with dry soil mixing in soft clay (medium plasticity, sensitivity 5-15)? Would jet grouting be possible/appropriate
Is it possible to begin soil-cement columns at a certain depth below grade, similar to jet grouting, rather than at the existing ground surface...
