Hi, shear box is 100mm². In the UK our clay samples could run up to 3 days (very rare tho), mostly overnight tho 2 days not uncommon. And yes I did the mean the T100, excuse my phrasing, new to site and in my own admittance my maths is not the greatest.
Yes, it sounds like the same method for...
AS1289 t50*50 (same as AST), BS1377 the consolidation is plotted on height v square root time and 100% consolidation is obtained from graph in mins. (I can post the equation for you if you wish to see it).
I recently had a clay sample and worked out the consolidation time to be appx 48 hours...
Hi,
I previously worked in the UK using BS1377 for small shear box testing. I always hand calced my consolidation using T100 method.
I am now working in Australia and the consolidations are worked out using the T50 as per AS1289.
I am wondering would basing your shearing times on 50%...
