Thanks oldestguy. I was hoping to get some insight from you, BigH, fattdad, and/or Focht3.
The question still remains though, do relative compaction values(relative undisturbed/disturbed ring sample dry densities as a percentage of lab max dry densities) more accurately define the soil...
Thanks Ron!
To add some information, I did collect some bulk samples, but they were of course collected from the hollow stem cuttings. The cuttings are pretty representative of discreet sampled materials at shallow depths, but as the bulks are collected from deeper depths (>10 feet) the soil...
I have a project site with 30-100 feet of non-engineered fill. I've conducted hollow-stem soil borings and have collected samples with SPT and California Modified samplers. The blow counts were recorded and corrected to (N1)60 blow counts with an additional correction for the Cal. Mod. samples...
From what I've found digging around on the internet is that the California DOT, in the 1970's, tested a variation of the Jersey barrier or Type 50 median barrier for temporary applications; to protect workers doing construction along roadways. I know that each barrier is about 20 feet long and...
Yes, I've used SEEP/W 2007. It's a powerful program, but you have to be very careful on your mesh, boundary conditions, and head boundary condition modeling. You can get some really neat time stepped visual results, but on the bad side you can get some really generic error messages that don't...
