Determination of free swell index of soils
8 likes8,125 views
This document describes the procedure for determining the free swell index of soils. The test involves taking a soil sample, drying it in an oven, sieving it to remove particles larger than 425 microns, and placing 10g of the remaining soil in each of two 100ml flasks. Kerosene is added to one flask and distilled water to the other, and both are stirred and allowed to settle for at least 24 hours. The free swell index is calculated as the percentage increase in volume of the soil-water mixture over the soil-kerosene mixture. At least three readings should be taken and averaged to obtain the final result.

This document describes several field tests used to identify soil types:
- Visual examination can distinguish gravel, sand, silt, and clay by drying and separating soil components. Silt and clay particles cannot be separated without magnification.
- The sedimentation test involves shaking soil in water to observe how long different particle sizes take to settle, allowing estimation of gravel, sand, silt, and clay percentages.
- Plasticity and strength tests provide information about soil texture and cohesiveness by attempting to roll moist soil into threads or break dried soil patties by hand. The results can indicate clay, silt, or sand-dominated soils.Proctor compaction test

油
The document describes the standard Proctor compaction test procedure. The test is used to determine the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of soils. It involves compacting soil samples at incrementally increased moisture contents using a specified compaction method. A compaction curve is plotted showing the relationship between dry density and moisture content. The peak of the curve indicates the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density achieved for that soil. The test uses a cylindrical metal mold, rammer, balance, oven and other equipment to compact and analyze the soil samples according to steps that sieve, mix, compact and weigh the soil at different moistures.Cement stabilization of soils ppt

In-situ testing methods like the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) are used when it is difficult to obtain undisturbed soil samples. The SPT involves driving a split spoon sampler into the soil using a hammer and measuring the blow count. Corrections are made to the blow count for factors like hammer efficiency, borehole diameter, and overburden pressure. Empirical correlations with soil properties like density, shear strength, and type are then used to inform foundation design.Compaction
CompactionRavindranath Chandra
油
Compaction is the densification of soil through mechanical means such as rolling, ramming, or vibration to reduce porosity and increase dry density. Laboratory compaction tests determine the optimum water content and maximum dry density for a soil through controlled compaction and varying water content. Standard Proctor and Modified Proctor tests involve compacting soil in layers in a mold using a specified hammer weight and drop height. Field compaction equipment includes smooth drum rollers, pneumatic tired rollers, sheep-foot rollers, and rammers or vibrators. The dry density achieved depends on factors like water content, compactive effort, soil type, and additives used.Class 7 Consolidation Test ( Geotechnical Engineering )
