CHAPTER 1. SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
lawr.ucdavis.eduForces acting on soil particle are gravitation, buoyancy and drag forces, and all depend on particle size; The larger particles settle first à Stokes law Since soils are a mixture of different size particles, soil’s are classified using the so-called soil textural triangle.
CARBONATE EQUILIBRIA
lawr.ucdavis.eduCalcium carbonate in water with a fixed partial pressure of carbon dioxide. For the case of a fixed partial pressure of carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate dissolved in the aqueous phase one more equation is need to describe the system. This is the solubility product of calcium carbonate: = K ( CaCO ) ( Ca ) ( CO ) o CaCO 3 2 - 3 2 + 3 (19)

d2oqb2vjj999su.cloudfront.netThe undrained triaxial strength tests are used to determine the shear strength of a soil sample that is not allowed to drain. The test will be completed on three unsaturated soil samples. The test results will be analyzed to determine the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope, failure angle, shearing resistance, and Young’s Modulus of Elasticity.

www.wsdot.wa.govThe two most common in-situ test methods for use in soil are the Standard Penetration Test, (SPT) and the cone penetrometer test (CPT). Section 5.4 describes these tests as well as other in-situ tests. The laboratory testing program generally consists of index tests to obtain general information or to use with correlations to estimate design
