Download or read book The Effect of Initial Moisture Content on the Swelling Characteristics of Putnam Soil written by William Howell Branum and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The literature on swell and swell pressure in expansive soils was reviewed. The effect of initial moisture content on the swelling properties of untreated Putnam silt loam was investigated by performing free swell and swell pressure tests on specimens with varying initial moisture contents compacted to a constant dry density. The free swell tests were conducted by allowing the samples to swell freely under a low load (the weight of the plunger and the porous stone in the swelling apparatus) and measuring the volume change that resulted. The swell pressure tests were performed using two different procedures: (1) determining the load necessary to prevent swelling, and (2) reconsolidating the sample after swell had taken place. It was found that initial moisture content of a compacted expansive soil is directly related to the swelling characteristics of the soil"--Abstract, leaf ii.

Download or read book Characterization of Compacted Expansive Clays written by Julius Kibiti M'Ndegwa and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of expansive clay soil with regard to structural damage of buildings and roads was not recognized until the latter part of 1930. Up to now, some engineers are not familiar with certain characteristics of this soil. Many clay soils may be mistaken for expansive ones and costly structural designs be prepared for structures to be founded on them. Therefore, there is a need to characterize the soil for ease of identification. In this regard, Dr. M'Ndegwa points out that expansive soil can be easily identified through local climate, vegetation, ground topography, physical features of soil and simple laboratory tests. This book defines expansive soil, its occurrence, formation, mineralogical and chemical structure. The author explains the swelling behaviour of clay soil and discusses factors that influence actual amount of swell or shrinkage, concepts of swelling, modes of swelling and mechanisms of swelling. The classification and identification of this soil type including its compaction characteristics are also described. Finally, evaluation of swelling potential is discussed. Students of Civil Engineering and Practising Engineers will find this book very resourceful.

Download or read book Effect of Temperature on Swelling Pressure and Compressibility of Soil written by Ahsan Rabbani and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Geotechnology, grade: 9.36, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, language: English, abstract: Construction of building on clay soil is highly risky due to its poor strength. Clayey soil creates many problems to the Geotechnical Engineers primarily because of repeated change of moisture content. Normally, these soils increase in size and swell when they absorb water and reduce in size and shrink when they become dry. Volume change in soil leads to distortions in the form of settlement due to contraction as a result of dryness or in the form of expansion due to swelling as a result of the absorption of water. There may be the need for soil treatment to improve the engineering properties of such soil. Compacted bentonite is often used as a buffer materials and for radioactive waste disposal system. A good understanding of the hydro-mechanical behavior of clay soil is essential to ensure safe disposal. The present study reports the results on the effects of temperature on swelling pressure and compressibility characteristics of soil. In this study, two different type of soils were used. One of them was a bentonite (liquid limit = 139%) procured from Bikaner, Rajasthan another one was Rourkela local soil (liquid limit = 35%). A new oedometer was designed and developed in-house to carry out consolidation and swelling pressure tests at a higher temperature. Swelling pressures tests on compacted bentonite specimens of targeted dry density of 1.6 Mg/m3 were conducted under constant volume condition for the temperature range between 25 to 90 0C. Compressibility tests at various temperatures for both soils were conducted using distilled water as the saturating fluid. It observed that high temperature caused an increase in swelling pressure and compressibility index of bentonite soil. There is no effect of temperature on compressibility index of Rourkela local soil.

Download or read book Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils written by John D. Nelson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your guide to the design and construction of foundations on expansive soils Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils fills a significant gap in the current literature by presenting coverage of the design and construction of foundations for expansive soils. Written by an expert author team with nearly 70 years of combined industry experience, this important new work is the only modern guide to the subject, describing proven methods for identifying and analyzing expansive soils and developing foundation designs appropriate for specific locations. Expansive soils are found worldwide and are the leading cause of damage to structural roads. The primary problem that arises with regard to expansive soils is that deformations are significantly greater than in non-expansive soils and the size and direction of the deformations are difficult to predict. Now, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils gives engineers and contractors coverage of this subject from a design perspective, rather than a theoretical one. Plus, they'll have access to case studies covering the design and construction of foundations on expansive salts from both commercial and residential projects. Provides a succinct introduction to the basics of expansive soils and their threats Includes information on both shallow and deep foundation design Profiles soil remediation techniques, backed-up with numerous case studies Covers the most commonly used laboratory tests and site investigation techniques used for establishing the physical properties of expansive soils If you're a practicing civil engineer, geotechnical engineer or contractor, geologist, structural engineer, or an upper-level undergraduate or graduate student of one of these disciplines, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils is a must-have addition to your library of resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is a compendium of five decades of work relating to science, mechanics and improvement of highly expansive soil systems, application of improved methods to construction of stable civil engineering structures on such deposits. He has used a particulate approach incorporating thermodynamic properties of soil particles as matter to predict the behaviour of saturated expansive soil. The compiling of this massive work has been the effort of the co-authors. The behaviour of expansive soil deposits is found to be unconventional in nature. Prof. Katti has focused on the difference in behaviour by conducting identical studies on conventional soil systems. The book covers topics on basic property, swelling and swelling pressure measurements, shear strength behaviour under various conditions including depth effect, lateral earth pressure development under Ka, Ko and Kp conditions using large-scale devises, discovery of CNS technology and its field application, bearing capacity aspect with and without CNS and MSM, expansive soil improvement techniques, approach to design of rigid and flexible pavements, shallow and raft foundations; optimum length, Hd of underreamed piles, similarity between suction pressure measure approach and cohesion measure approach, use of conventional and small scale test data and simplified approach to estimate he and h, standards, and mechanics of expansive soil media and case histories. He has brought about limitations of existing conventional theories to deal with expansive soil behaviour and the need for incorporating thermodynamic parameters to predict behaviour of saturated expansive soils. This is a unique treatise covering the entire realm of behaviour of saturated expansive soil and control methods. It can act as a database for future research workers and scholars as a guide for construction for practicing engineers and as a sequentially organised scientifically based book for students.
