Is it not necessary to perform the unloading-loading cycle in order to calculate the swell index and recompression coefficient?
@altviooltje4 жыл бұрын
Do you use also Taylor and the Bjerrum and the isotachen methode to do the calculations for al parameters?
@willliamkitch29674 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can use those methods. For my intro geotech class I teach just the Casagrande method, because I think it’s the most intuitive. In practice I like to use the Taylor method as well because it allows you to project ahead where Casagrande’s method allows you to find t-100 only by looking back in time. If you need the secondary compression index, you need to use Casagrade’s method. I don’t use Bjerrum’s isochrone theory. It’s not common in practice in the US.

Can you please explain why mostly we get degree of saturation of the final more than the initial and some times we get degree of saturation more than 100% ?? Thanks
@youwilllaugh31362 жыл бұрын
There are no such things as more than 100% degree of saturation
@JamesCaseEndercaseАй бұрын
There is if you assume or find your specific gravity incorrectly. 😂 @@youwilllaugh3136

If you get a higher than original degree of saturation after consolidation and pressure release then your sample wasn't saturated in situ and/or your sample dried after sampling. If the sample starts at 100% saturation it can't go any higher than that but it "can" still swell if you test it at a lower pressure than in situ with available pore water of a similar salinity. 100% saturation in situ isn't always 100% at 1 atm. That's one reason why the decree of saturation calculated a 1 atm lab unit weight isn't really in situ. @farhanshaher3032
