Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple torsional vane shear device has been developed which provides a reliable and rapid measure of the shear strength of saturated cohesive soils. This device can be used both in the field and in the laboratory. It is lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to use. For an extensive foundation investigation with a large laboratory testing program, the torsional vane shear device will provide rapid results and will supplement the over-all program. For small investigations, this device can be used in evaluating site conditions and may reduce or, in some cases, eliminate laboratory testing. This paper describes the development and application of the device.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cyclical simple shear tests were performed on block samples of a remolded clay mixture of 3 parts kaolinite to 1 part of bentonite mixed at 110% water content. The samples had base sizes of 8x8, 4x4, and 2x2 inches square and heights of 1, 2, 4, and 8 inches. The simple shear tests were performed by using a predetermined sinusoidal displacement, at frequencies of 1, 2, and 5 hertz. The shear modulus which was normalized by dividing it by the shear strength, and the hysteretic damping factor which was expressed as the percent of critical damping, were evaluated from a plot of the shear strain versus the shear stress relationship called a hysteresis loop. The modulus decreased as the shear strain and/or the number of cycles increased. It was not effected by the frequency. The modulus also decreased with increasing sample size. The difference between modulus values for different sample sizes decreased as the length to height ratio increased. The damping ratio which is also strain dependent increased with increasing strain, but decreased with increasing sample base size. The length to height ratio did not effect the damping ratio"--Abstract, leaf ii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper deals with a new simple shear apparatus for the investigation of mechanical soil behavior of unsaturated coarse-grained soils under monotonous and cyclic loading conditions. Non-cohesive soils, such as sands, typically encounter low capillary effects, and little research has been dedicated to them so far. This holds true especially for effects of repeated loading. The presented test setup allows control of small matric suction up to 85 kPa within the soil specimens with the help of a vacuum control method. Although the pore water pressures are negative as occurring in nature, the pore air pressure is kept at an atmospheric level. Depending on the pore water drainage condition of the specimen boundaries, either drained constant suction tests (CS-tests) or undrained constant water content tests (CW-tests) can be performed. The focus of the research is placed on the interaction of loading and volume change with matric suction and degree of saturation, i.e., the hydraulic-mechanical coupling, during monotonous and cyclic shear. Central questions are the impact of matric suction and degree of saturation on the densification behavior as well as, vice versa, the effect of cyclic loading on a change of matric suction and degree of saturation. The new simple shear apparatus and testing method will be explained, their benefits and shortcomings will be discussed, and selected results of a series of tests will be presented.

Download or read book Laboratory Manual for Geotechnical Characterization of Fine Grained Soils written by Alan J. Lutenegger and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual presents procedures for performing advanced laboratory tests on fine-grained soils. It covers characterization tests, which determine soil composition and quantify the individual components of a soil, and behavioral tests, such as the Atterberg Limits tests that demonstrate how the fines fraction of a soil reacts when mixed with water and the Linear Shrinkage Test that demonstrates how much a soil shrinks. The material goes beyond traditional evaluation of basic soil behavior by presenting more advanced laboratory tests to characterize soil in more detail. These tests provide detailed compositional characteristics which identify subtle changes in conditions and vertical variations in the soil, and which help to explain unusual behavior. A unique compilation of information on key soil tests Combines characterization tests with behavior tests The book suits graduate students in geotechnical engineering, as well as practitioners and researchers.
