Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering
Author: Jay Ameratunga
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 8132226291
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis. Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a civil engineering project. By using appropriate empirical correlations, it is possible to derive many design parameters, thus limiting our reliance on these soil tests. The authors have decades of experience in geotechnical engineering, as professional engineers or researchers. The objective of this book is to present a critical evaluation of a wide range of empirical correlations reported in the literature, along with typical values of soil parameters, in the light of their experience and knowledge. This book will be a one-stop-shop for the practising professionals, geotechnical researchers and academics looking for specific correlations for estimating certain geotechnical parameters. The empirical correlations in the forms of equations and charts and typical values are collated from extensive literature review, and from the authors' database.

ISBN:
Category : Shear strength of soils
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
During the 1973 Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (formerly Highway Research Board) participants in a symposium on shear strength of fine- grained soils during construction discussed the measurement of field strength and other indicative parameters, and how best to use these data to control construction. Four papers presented during this symposium and two additional papers on related subjects, have been published in this issue of the record.

A Study of the Correlation Potential of the Optimum Moisture Content, Maximum Dry Density, and Consolidated Drained Shear Strength of Plastic Fine-grained Soils with Index Properties
Author: Marvin Tartt Harris
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electronic dissertations
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
"The correlation potential of the compaction properties and the consolidated drained shear strength parameters of plastic fine-grained soils with index properties was investigated in this study. The interrelationships of these properties were derived through graphical and multilinear regression analysis. The compaction properties, optimum moisture content, and maximum dry density were found to be related to many of the index properties. The most important relationships were with the plasticity indices and the percentage of particles smaller than two microns; the highest degree of simple correlation was achieved with the liquid limit. The consolidated drained shear parameters, cohesion, and the angle of internal friction were correlated with many of the index properties; however, the magnitude of the computed correlation coefficients were not indicative of a high degree of correlation. The correlation of the shear parameters with the plasticity index was the most significant. Many useful equations and graphical procedures for rapidly predicting the compaction and shear parameters from index properties have been developed. The accuracy of these equations and graphical procedures has been evaluated herein and found to be sufficiently accurate for most prediction situations. Through varied data considerations, it was determined that the best approach to accurate correlation would be to restrict the analyses to soils of similar origin or to those of a limited geographic area, in lieu of focusing upon soils of varied origin as a unit. The investigator is hopeful that this fact and other facts brought out herein will prove useful to those attempting similar studies in the future"--Abstract, leaf ii.

The Shear Graph and Cohesive Soil
Author: Charles Rees Nickerson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Shear strength of soils
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
"Some existing test procedures for measuring shearing properties of soils are reviewed. the correlation between the shear strength of two fine-grained soils as indicated by the unconfined compression test and the shear graph test is investigated. This is accomplished by comparing the test results at varying moisture contents and dry densities. One of the soils used is a red plastic clay, the other a silty clay. The test results indicate that for soils wet of optimum the shear graph strength can be taken as being equal to the unconfined compressive strength. This will be conservative for soils that exhibit an appreciable angle of internal friction. Two design changes are suggested that would make the shear graph results more reliable"--Abstract, leaf ii.
