The consistency index (Ic) indicates the consistency (firmness) of a soil. The shear resistance of soil is a result of friction and interlocking of particles, and possibly cementation or bonding at particle contacts. 5 0 obj endobj Soil is placed into the metal cup (Casagrande cup) portion of the device and a groove is made down at its center with a standardized tool of 2 millimetres (0.079in) width. and plasticity index Several studies have been reported in the literature with regards to the correlation between the effective angle of shearing resistance ' peak and plasticity index I P (Brooker and Ireland 1965, Ladd et al. Regression analyses were performed using the SPT data collected from 40 different boreholes containing 330 data points. endobj Casagrande subsequently standardized the apparatus (by incorporating a crank-rotated cam mechanism to standardize the dropping action) and the procedures to make the measurement more repeatable. PubMedGoogle Scholar. It can be seen that for a Plasticity Index of 50, which is true for Young Bay Mud, =0.8. |\|MUns"ia XY:@a}07?T/"7N That means soil is in the liquid state. Hopefully they should give a better results. It indicates the fineness of the soil and its capacity to change shape without altering its volume. . 0000005348 00000 n 0000003199 00000 n Based on the SPT data an empirical correlation has been established between standard penetration number N and internal friction angle to predict the friction angle of soils. It can be calculated as a ratio of difference between natural water content, plastic limit, and liquid limit: LI=(W-PL)/(LL-PL) where W is the natural water content. w Plasticity index, PI (%) 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 0 20 40 60 80 100 0 0 CU CU (a) Water content (d) Plasticity index KU KU AIT 2 AIT 2 Sutthisan Sutthisan . <>/Metadata 924 0 R/ViewerPreferences 925 0 R>> Based on the SPT data an empirical correlation has been established between standard penetration number N and internal friction angle to predict the friction angle of soils. False startxref The PI is the difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit (PI = LL-PL). The validity of BTS to determine de UTS is discussed by many researchers. Clays and silts interact with water and thus change sizes and have varying shear strengths. In the stress plane of Shear stress-effective normal stress, the soil friction angle is the angle of inclination with respect to the horizontal axis of the Mohr-Coulomb shear resistance line. This is very important assessment in mechanical excavation by tunnel boring machines. The plasticity index (PI) is a measure of the plasticity of a soil. In bedded/foliated rocks, particular attention needs to be given to loading direction with respect to bedding/foliation. 22(2), 572581 (2018), Obasi, N.L., Anyaegbunam, A.J. Weight loss measurements tested the . . P *8Gx_+OFoeh5k}KQ\`q&]Wv>?&wo. 4. Cohesive soil of low plasticity can beusedin rein forced earth providing that bar -mesh reinforcement is used. The soil is free to dilate or contract during shear if the soil is drained. When the friction coefficient rises to ~ 0.3, the initial plastic zone is at the surface and local plastic deformation can occur at any significant normal pressure. Yup guys done the reverse engineering of the slope have got a fair idea of what it should be but the Triaxial test are not indicating similar values hence my Quest. (1978) propose a correlation using plasticity index for remoulding clays: Koppula Wroth model C c = 1.325 PI Similarly Sridharan and Nagaraj (2000) have given: C c =0.014(PI+3.6) These equations were obtained by research conducted on soil from the country of origin of the researchers, in most .

The effective friction angle is interpreted based on three different criteria, i.e., qmax, maximum obliquity, and 15% strain. 9 0 obj Join your peers on the Internet's largest technical engineering professional community.It's easy to join and it's free. : Overburden correction factors for SPT in sand. % "?A$^aHQd6,yl2cj-}3D8/K_3O2WF{D*a"$)pn0kw1nQ)( [;/&G_-XUeQCeW/nJF9l* ek)woMZb{`PY^yUwv3`*+dXCo.aBqW[I<2 M=PIG9 0000003216 00000 n 54Fa!B^9zxkKr:S\ADU|A4q-Y[ht;`&+FfD RA_Zj2)y'_5Sh|&Zfn, The intermolecular forces responsible for the function of various kinds of stickers and sticky tape fall into the categories of chemical adhesion, dispersive adhesion, and diffusive adhesion. Figure 5 - Plasticity data for residual soils and landslides developed on the Rincon Shale plotted in red on a chart comparing PI with residual angle of internal friction, r, taken from Holtz and Kovacs (1985).In this plot the median values range between r = 26 and 31 degrees, which appear somewhat higher than might explain the observed sliding on this site. 0000001774 00000 n Thus the Atterberg limits are not only used to identify the soil's classification, but it allows for the use of empirical correlations for some other engineering properties. 1996 among others). The shear strength of soil depends on the effective stress, the drainage conditions, the density of the particles, the rate of strain, and the direction of the strain. Hutchinson has a good example of back calculation in the SOTA papers from Mexico, 1969. However, it was found to increase with an . 40 sieve; and fine sand is material passing a No. Thank you for helping keep Eng-Tips Forums free from inappropriate posts.The Eng-Tips staff will check this out and take appropriate action. The results obtained were used to determine the values of the true and base friction angles. (eds) Proceedings of the Indian Geotechnical Conference 2019. The mean value of PI was 38.9%, which ha a standard deviation (S.D.) Since you have done the back-calc and have done triaxials, can you tempt us by providing the comparison and details? If soil expands its volume, the density of particles will decrease and the strength will decrease; in this case, the peak strength would be followed by a reduction of shear stress. Journal of Soil Mechanics and Foundations Div., 92(SM4), Retrieved from. "Fundamental Aspects of the Atterberg Limits". Table 5-34. of 23.3%. It gives us an idea of the shear strength of the soil.
