Soil Classification

In all sections of civil engineering and particularly in soil mechanics, the engineer during the design stage must ensure that the analysis of soil properties relate directly to the relevant foundation or structure. Using pro-cedures involving extracting, examining and testing representative samples the engineer can compute a model very close to the real situa-tion. In recent years we have seen a significant contribution to experimental analysis resulting from more sophisticated testing procedures, up dating of many International Standards, and publication of good testing manuals and pro-cedures.

STANDARDASTM D2573

This tester, designed to measure the undrained shear strength (CU) of cohesive soils, consists of a cylindrical body with a torsional spring and three interchangeable vanes of different sizes used depending upon the expected strength of the soil.The vanes have the following dimensions:- small size 32x16 mm (height x dia.)- medium size 40x20 mm (height x dia.)- large size 50.8x25.4 mm (height x dia.).The height/diameter ratio of all vanes is 2. During operation the vane is driven for 5-6 cm into the soil and then turned with the handle. Deep measures (i.e. on the top of undisturbed samples) can be obtained using the extension rod.

General description and specifications

The design of the DCP is similar to that described by Kleyn, Maree and Savage (1982) in that it uses an 8 kg weight drop-ping through a height of 575 mm and a 60° cone having a diameter of 20 mm. It is supplied with two 13-17 mm AF Spanners, Tommy Bar, 3 mm AF Hex Wrench and a bottle of adhesive used for securing hand-le/top rod and bottom rod/cone joints.

TRL* Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)

The TRL DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) is an instrument designed for the rapid in-situ measurement of the structural proper-ties of existing road pavements constructed with unbound materials. Continuous mea-surements can be made down to a depth of approximately 850 mm or when extension shafts are used to a recommended maxi-mum depth of 2 m. Where pavement layers have different strengths the boundaries can be identified and the thickness of the layers determined. Correlation’s have been established in earlier work (Van Vuuren 1969, Kleyn and Van Heerden 1983, Smith and Pratt 1983) between measurements with the DCP and CBR (California Bearing Ratio) so that results can be interpreted and compared with CBR specifications for pavement design. A typical test takes only a few minutes and therefore the instru-ment provides a very efficient method of obtaining information that would normally require the digging of test-pits.

The moisture content can be determined using Moisture testers based on the calcium carbide method. The soil sample is introduced in the bottle with the reagent. The water reacts with calcium carbide and develops a gas pressure, which is indicated on the mano-meter and easily converted in percentage of moisture.

A well established portable test method for the determination of moisture content of soils, sand and fine aggregates. The proce-dure involves the reaction between water and calcium carbide which when mixed together give off a gas. The amount of gas is directly proportional to the amount of water present in the sample and results in percentage moisture are taken from a pressure gauge.Supplied complete with electronic balance, brushes and measure in a plastic carrying case.These models are available for moisture determination on 6 and 20 g samples as follows:
