  • Soil Classification the Geotechnical Engineer Predicts the Behavior Of
    CE 340, Fall 2015 Soil Classification 1 / 7 The geotechnical engineer predicts the behavior of soils for his or her clients (structural engineers, architects, contractors, etc). A first step is to classify the soil. Soil is typically classified according to its distribution of grain sizes, its plasticity, and its relative density or stiffness. Classification by Distribution of Grain Sizes. While an experienced geotechnical engineer can visually examine a soil sample and estimate its grain size distribution, a more accurate determination can be made by performing a sieve analysis. Sieve Analyis. In a sieve analysis, the dried soil sample is placed in the top of a stacked set of sieves. The sieve with the largest opening is placed on top, and sieves with successively smaller openings are placed below. The sieve number indicates the number of openings per linear inch (e.g. a #4 sieve has 4 openings per linear inch). The results of a sieve analysis can be used to help classify a soil. Soils can be divided into two broad classes: coarse‐grained soils and fine‐grained soils. Coarse‐grained soils have particles with a diameter larger than 0.075 mm (the mesh size of a #200 sieve). Fine‐grained soils have particles smaller than 0.075 mm. The four basic grain sizes are indicated in Figure 1 below: Gravel, Sand, Silt and Clay. Sieve Opening, mm Opening, in Soil Type Cobbles 76.2 mm 3 in Gravel #4 4.75 mm ~0.2 in [# 10 for AASHTO) (2.0 mm) (~0.08 in) Coarse Sand #10 2.0 mm ~0.08 in Grained Medium Sand #40 0.425 mm ~0.017 in Coarse Fine Sand #200 0.075 mm ~0.003 in Silt 0.002 mm to Grained 0.005 mm Fine Clay Figure 1.

  • Origins of Mechanical Compaction the Fresno Grader
    Part 1 ORIGINS OF MECHANICAL COMPACTION THE FRESNO GRADER Abajiah McCall invented the horse- drawn dirt bucket scrapper in Fresno County, California in 1885. It became known as the “Fresno Scrapper” and was widely employed as the prime earth moving device until the widespread advent of self- powered scrappers in the 1930s. Above left: 10-horse team pulling an elevating grader to load hopper dumping wagons during construction of the Central Reservoir for the People’s Water Co. in Oakland, California in 1909. Note old Buffalo- Springfield steam roller compacting the dam’s embankment, in left background Below Left: Marion shovel loading a hopper dumping wagon at the San Pablo Dam site of the East Bay Water Company in 1920, in Richmond, California. At 220 ft high with a volume of 2.2 million yds3 it was the highest and largest earth dam in the world when completed in 1922. “Load Compaction” of Trestle Fills In the early days large embankments were constructed by side-dumping rail cars or wagons from temporary wooden trestles, as shown at left. Engineers assumed that, after placement and infiltration by rain, the soil would ‘compact’ under its own dead load. The first sheepsfoot rollers The first sheepsfoot roller was built in Los Angeles in 1902, using a 3-ft diameter log studded with railroad spikes protruding 7 inches, distributed so the spikes were staggered in alternate rows. This layout was soon modified to increase weight and efficiency, initially by increasing its length to 8 ft. Note the leading wheels on the early models shown here, absent later.

  • Field Sand Sieve Analysis Instructions
    Field Sand Sieve Analysis Preparation To be able carry out a sieve analysis, the following materials are needed: • 3-cycle logarithm paper – an example is annexed to this document; • Set of sieves for sand analysis. A plastic set is available from www.geosupplies.co.uk . This set does not have larger mesh sizes, but is useful for field trips due to their weight; • Electronic scales with the ability to weigh 200 grams accurately to within 0.1 gram; • At least 200 grams of very dry sand. Instructions 1. Stack the sieves with the coarsest at the top and the finest at the bottom. 2. Place a small container on the scales that will receive the sand (e.g. cut off the bottom of a plastic water bottle), and then zero the scales. 3. Mix the sand and then measure out approximately 200 grams into the top sieve. 4. Put the lid on and shake the sieve column. Theoretically you should shake for 10 minutes, but several minutes should suffice. 5. Weigh the sand retained by each sieve to the nearest 0.1 gram. This is done in a cumulative way – this means that you add what is remaining on the coarsest sieve on top to the container on the scales, and measure the weight. Following this, you add the material from the second sieve down, and again note the combined weight of both samples. Continue in this way for the whole set. When finished, check that the final weight corresponds to the initial weight of the sample. 6. Clean each sieve as it is emptied and return the sand to the stock.

  • Chapter 21 Soil Improvement
    CHAPTER 21 SOIL IMPROVEMENT 21.1 INTRODUCTION General practice is to use shallow foundations for the foundations of buildings and other such structures, if the soil close to the ground surface possesses sufficient bearing capacity. However, where the top soil is either loose or soft, the load from the superstructure has to be transferred to deeper firm strata. In such cases, pile or pier foundations are the obvious choice. There is also a third method which may in some cases prove more economical than deep foundations or where the alternate method may become inevitable due to certain site and other environmental conditions. This third method comes under the heading foundation soil improvement. In the case of earth dams, there is no other alternative than compacting the remolded soil in layers to the required density and moisture content. The soil for the dam will be excavated at the adjoining areas and transported to the site. There are many methods by which the soil at the site can be improved. Soil improvement is frequently termed soil stabilization, which in its broadest sense is alteration of any property of a soil to improve its engineering performance. Soil improvement 1. Increases shear strength 2. Reduces permeability, and 3. Reduces compressibility The methods of soil improvement considered in this chapter are 1. Mechanical compaction 2. Dynamic compaction 3. Vibroflotation 4. Preloading 5. Sand and stone columns 951 952 Chapter 21 6. Use of admixtures 7. Injection of suitable grouts 8. Use of geotextiles 21.2 MECHANICAL COMPACTION Mechanical compaction is the least expensive of the methods and is applicable in both cohesionless and cohesive soils.

The effects of compaction water content and effort level were evaluated for the clay after it had been saturated and consolidated under confining pressures simulating various embankment positions. Prediction equations were developed for the effective stress parameters, for the pore pressure parameter at failure, and for the volumetric strain during saturation and consolidation. These equations are largely in terms of the compaction variables. Research on these relation- ships for field compacted soil continues.
