The specific gravity and absorption test (ASTM C128) was performed on fineaggregate and the following data were obtained:Mass of SSD sand = 500.0 gMass of pycnometer with water only = 623.0 gMass of pycnometer with sand and water = 938.2 gMass of dry sand = 495.5 gCalculate the specific gravity values (dry bulk, SSD, and apparent) and theabsorption of the fine aggregate.
In a standard penetration test, the blows are recorded as 1/20/30. If correction factor for overburden is 0.90, the standard penetration resistance, N-value corrected for overburden and dilatancy is.
Soil please do both questions.
Please help me.. The following table shows the readings from a CBR test, if the standard penetration of 2, 4, 6 and 8 mmhaving plunger loads of 11.5, 17.6, 22.2 and 26.3 kN which corresponds to 100% CBR, determine the CBRfor the tested soil. thank you
For the first series of tests, no drainage of pore water occurs, either when the normal load is applied or during shearing (relating to clay’s very low coefficient of permeability). How does the “no drainage” control can be visualized?
Define the term critical void ratio.
A consolidated drained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally consolidated day. The results were as foHows: 03 = 300 kPa (confining pressure) Deviators stress = 300 kPa o Compute the angle of shearing resistance. e Compute the angle that the failure plane makes with the major principal. stress. Compute the shear stress on the failure plane.
For any C–U- or U–U-type test, what is the magnitude of excess pore water pressure existing in the soil at shear failure is indicated from?
Please help.. Triaxial test is another method or test of determining shear strength of a soil, explain in brief the formulae that are used and compare the two and indicate what is the difference in the information derived from thetwo tests. Thank you..
