In AASHTO, which group are the following soils likely to fall into? a. A well graded gravel with approximately 10% fines. b. A well graded sand with approximately 10% fines. c. A uniform fine sand. d. A high plastic clay.
The properties of seven different clayey soils are shown below (Skempton and Northey, 1952). Investigate the relationship between the strength and plasticity characteristics by performing the following tasks: a. Estimate the plasticity index for each soil using Skemptons definition of activity [Eq. (4.28)]. b. Estimate the probable mineral composition of the clay soils based on PI and A (use Table 4.3) c. Sensitivity (St) refers to the loss of strength when the soil is remolded or disturbed. It is defined as the ratio of the undisturbed strength (f-undisturbed) to the remolded strength (f-remolded)) at the same moisture content [Eq. (12.49)]. From the given data, estimate f-remolded for the clay soils. d. Plot the variations of undisturbed and remolded shear strengths with the activity, A, and explain the observed behavior.
For a normally consolidated soil, the following is given: Determine the following: a. The compression index, Cc. b. The void ratio corresponding to pressure of 200 kN/m2
