Soil Plasticity and Expansion Potential - Missouri S&T

Soil Residual Strength Parameters The PI of a soil is commonly correlated with the expansive potential and residual angle of internal friction for drained field conditions, as proposed by R.E. Gibson, 1953, Experimental determination of true cohesion and true angle of internal friction in clays: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on
