Atterberg limits

3.0 DETERMINATION OF CONSISTENCY LIMITS OF A SOIL 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 Objective To determine the Atterberg Limits of Soils 3.1.2 Learning Outcomes Understand the Principle of Consistency and Atterberg Limits of Clay Soils Describe the Atterberg Limit Tests and their uses Perform the tests and obtain the Atterberg Limits Calculate some Indices (Flow Index, Plasticity Index and Toughness Index) for the Clay Soil 3.1.3 Consistency indices Fine-grained soils are formed in nature by the gradual deposition of soil particles from suspension in water. In the process of settlement, consolidation and drying out, the material passes through several well-defined states, namely: liquid suspension; viscous liquid; plastic solid; semi- plastic solid;…

I.a. Background Information The data in this report were based on the practicals in the laboratory. The data were used to identify and classify soils for engineering applications. The data were tabulated using Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) method, which is non-laboratory test and 2 classification of soils based on laboratory test. The two laboratory test classify soil methods are Classification of soil based on particular size distribution and Classify soil based on Atterberg…

was quoting Justice Hugo Black when he said that “First Amendment protection ‘must be accorded to the ideas we hate or sooner or later they will be denied to the ideas we cherish.’” Nevertheless, the previous statement is true. Millennials should be aware that denying people the right to their own opinions means that their thoughts can be denied as well. If millennials are allowed to limit speech on their campuses and then the speech in the workforce later in life, those whose speech is limited…

concentration of Triton-X to be 0.05%, so 1 mL of 0.5% was added to the final 10 mL matrix. Dr. Doolittle’s handout suggested that the optimal dithizone concentration was 50 μM in 10 mL, so 0.5 mL of 1μM dithizone was added to the matrix. 1 mL of solution was added to the matrix, along with 3 mL of water. In previous trials, 0.5 mL of buffer was added to solution (and water was added appropriately to get to 10 mL); however, this was later modified (see table below), as it was crucial to main a…

to ship, their values could be decreased and made available to more shoppers in the market. Adversely, the human driver has, on more than just intellectual grounds, is much more viable. The human driver is traditional, and has become a copious profession. It is one of the most common jobs in America. Automating drivers would eliminate millions of jobs and could cause mass unemployment as well as civil outrage. Unless there was a viable way to transition all for those millions of driver out of…

After pondering my thoughts on why he would tap his breaks, I seemed to be gaining on him? Nearly crawling up the rear fender of the sedan, I read my speedometer. “55 MPH! Are you kidding me!” Fist clenching, muscles flexing, teeth grinding, I knew I was about to unleash. “Thats It!” With my vision red, I had no limits. With sudden flashbacks of the two speeding tickets on my record, I snapped into reality. Yet the monster inside was much to strong! Dropping the pedal to the floor, I merged…

such as “money is bad.” This is not true for most, however, there are a few people who, when they receive money or even the thought of receiving money, can do bad things to them. Therefore, there may be some truth to these scripts, however, it is better to try to break away from them and move towards more positive scripts. Chapter three discusses the financial comfort zone and either raising or lowering one’s financial limits. As of now, it is not really necessary for me to break out of my…

In society today, there are set laws that must be followed in order to protects citizens. One example would be the speed limit law, which saves lives every day. Driving above the posted speed makes you a more dangerous driver and increases your chances of being involved in an accident. Until this year, I had never received a speeding ticket. I have learned from this mistake. While thinking of all of the possible consequences that could have been placed upon my life or the life of someone else,…

Most importantly, you should have total control of yourself, the vehicle and your immediate environment to ensure a safe and responsible driving habit. I believe everyone can become a skilled driver just by following the important safety rules. We also need to make sure that everyone follows the road laws because our safety depends on the way they drive. For example, we should always report drunk drivers as soon as we spot one on the road, and it will be beneficial for the masses. Always…

going 55, the speed limit. “Yes, that's what I clocked you at. But that’s not the speed limit.” That’s when Monroe was informed that all the speed limits in Holland have been reduced to a maximum of 40 mph. Lucky for Monroe, the officer left him with a warning, and he was still able to get to school on time. This has been the story for many drivers across the Holland area. Unsuspecting drivers have taken to the roads without knowledge of the speed limit change only to see flashing lights in…
