In concrete work, Fuller and Thompson (1907) suggested that a dense packing of grains can be achieved if the percent finer (p) and grain size (D) are related by the following equation, where n is a constant varying in the range of 0.3-0.6. Dmax is the size of the largest grain within the soil. p=(DDmax)n100 This equation is sometimes used in roadwork for selecting the aggregates. a. For n = 0.5, show that the soil is well graded. b. If n = 0.5 and Dmax = 19.0 mm, find the percentages of gravel, sand, and fines within the soil. Use the Unified Soil Classification System.
Three groups of students from the Geotechnical Engineering class collected soil-aggregate samples for laboratory testing from a recycled aggregate processing plant in Palm Beach County, Florida. Three samples, denoted by Soil A, Soil B, and Soil C, were collected from three locations of the aggregate stockpile, and sieve analyses were conducted (see Figure 2.35). (a) (b) Figure 2.35 (a) Soil-aggregate stockpile; (b) sieve analysis (Courtesy of Khaled Sobhan, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, Florida) a. Determine the coefficient of uniformity and the coefficient of gradation for Soils A, B, and C. b. Which one is coarser: Soil A or Soil C? Justify your answer. c. Although the soils are obtained from the same stockpile, why are the curves so different? (Hint: Comment on particle segregation and representative field sampling.) d. Determine the percentages of gravel, sand and fines according to Unified Soil Classification System.
Given the specifications for an asphaltic concrete mixture and the results of a sieve analysis, determine the proportion of different aggregates to obtain the required gradation. Coarse aggregates: 60% Fine aggregates: 35% Filler: 5%
A tensile test was performed on a metal specimen with a diameter of 1 2 inch and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 4 inches. The dam were plotted on a load-displacement graph. P vs. L. A best-fit line was drawn through the points, and the slope of the straight-line portion was calculated to be P/L =1392 kips/in. What is the modulus of elasticity?
A hydrometer test has the following result: Gs = 2.65, temperature of water = 26 C, and L = 10.4 cm at 45 minutes after the start of sedimentation (see Figure 2.25). What is the diameter D of the smallest-size particles that have settled beyond the zone of measurement at that time (that is, t = 45 min)?
