High-plasticity clays occur in many areas of Texas and often offer the most economical material alternative for construction of highway embankments When constructed with proper moisture and compaction control, embankments constructed of plastic clays can ,...
Plasticity index is a measure of degree of plasticity of soil which indicates qualities of binding particles exist in clay soil This parameter cannot be negative if plastic limit, in some exceptions, is larger than liquid limit, ignoring negative value, it is considered zero...
11 SOIL SUITABILITY CLASSIFICATION FOR AQUACULTURE 110 The problem of soil classification There are several systems of soil classification which are based generally on particle size or on some additional soil properties such as plasticity and compressibility...

Clay minerals are produced mainly from the chemical weathering and decomposition of feldspars, such as orthoclase and plagioclase, and some micas They are small in size and very flaky in shape The key to some of the properties of clay soils, eg plasticity, compressibility, swelling/shrinkage potential, lies in the structure of clay minerals...
The Atterberg limits can be used to distinguish between silt and clay, and to distinguish between different types of silts and claysThe water content at which the soils changes from one state to the other are known as consistency limits or Atterberg s limit These limits were created by Albert Atterberg, a Swedish agriculturist in 1911...
Getting Control of Expansive Soil Expansive soil, also called shrink-swell soil, is a very common cause of foundation problems Depending upon the supply of moisture in the ground, shrink-swell soils will experience changes in volume of up to thirty percent or more...
dark grayish brown clay, with a high shrink-swell potential Published laboratory test results indicate that the Liquid Limit LL of such soils is 50-70, and the Plasticity Index PI ranges from 25-45 Atterberg Limits tests were performed in our laboratory to help classify and evaluate the expansion...
Seasonal changes affect clay soils - causing them to swell in winter and shrink in summer That s why there are minimum foundation depths for each type of clay Strip, trench fill or pad foundations must be cast at a minimum of 750mm in low plasticity clays, 900mm in medium, and 1000mm in ,...

Soil Young s modulus E , commonly reffred to as soil elastic modulus, is an elastic soil parameter and a measure of soil stiffness It is defined as the ratio of the stress along an axis over the strain along that axis in the range of elastic soil behaviour...

PI plot below the A line on the plasticity chart and is clay if the LL and PI plot above the A line on the chart all LL and PL tests are based on minus No 40 sieve fraction of a soil The foregoing definition holds for inorganic silts and clays and for organic silts but is not valid for organic clays since...
Definition of lean clay A clay of low to medium plasticity owing to a relatively high content of silt or sand Compare with fat clay Click here to see list of references, authorities, sources and geographical terms as used in this glossary Prev lean Next lean ore Glossary Search...
Abstract Stabilization, engineering properties, and durability characteristics of clay soils with moderate to high plasticity clay were investigated in the presence of Type I portland cement and hydrated lime The objective was to perform a direct comparison on the performances of portland cement and lime The properties investigated...
often emphasized that destructuration is not limited to cemented clays but is characteristic for most natural clays of low to medium plasticity6 Extensive analysis of the mechanicalbehaviour of natural clays with the emphasis on destructuration has been given by Leroueil and Vaughan7...
The grouping is made in terms of particle size distribution, plasticity of the fines and organic matter content The Unified Soil Classification groupings most suitable for farm dam construction are CL Inorganic clays of low to medium plasticity, gravelly clays, sandy clays, silty clays and lean clays...
The Unified Soil Classification System USCS is a soil classification system used in engineering and geology to describe the texture and grain size of a soilThe classification system can be applied to most unconsolidated materials, and is represented by a two-letter symbol Each letter is described below with the exception of Pt...

Dispersive clays are most easily eroded by water that is low in ion concentration, such as rain water Runoff water has the opportunity to attain ions from land surface contact making it more in ionic balance with the dispersive clays and less erosive Typically, dispersive clays are low to medium plasticity and...

What is the difference between high and low plasticity in soils? , The easiest way to tell if it is a high plasticity soil is to start with a soil that is a little too wet Roll it into a snake a few times and your body heat/motion will pull moisture out of it , then what is the difference between clay and silt? and how do you determine it?...
