Sentence examples for limits dry density from inspiring English sources

In this experimental laboratory study, new composites of phyllite clay and cement (5, 7 and 9 wt.%) were prepared and tested to determine their Atterberg limits, dry density and optimum water content for modified Proctor (MP) compaction, California Bearing ratio, swelling potential after soakage in water, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and water-permeability coefficient.

For soil properties that directly measured in the laboratory or in the field (e.g. liquid limit, plastic limit, bulk density, dry density, maximum and minimum dry densities,.. etc)., it is apparent that the transformation error can be assumed as zero.

Various clay properties such as liquid limit, plastic limit, optimum water content, maximum dry density and specific gravity were studied.

The specific gravity, Atterberg limits, grain size distribution and dry density were determined.

Lime has been known to reduce the swelling potential, liquid limit, plasticity index and maximum dry density of the soil, and increases its optimum water content, shrinkage limit and strength [19, 38].

Table 2 Standards maintained during the laboratory tests Test Testing method Particle size distribution ASTM D 422-63 limits LLmits (LL) and plastic limit (PL) ASTM D 4318-83 Maximum dry density ASTM D 698-78 Specific gravity ASTM D 854-83 [5] California bearing ratio (4 days soaked) ASTM D 1883-73.

It is therefore concluded that, under laboratory conditions, the frequency-dependent nature of apparent permittivity in fine-grained soils can be explained, and even predicted, using the Liquid Limit of a soil, its dry density, and the percentage linear shrinkage it exhibits.

Test results show a decrease of the fine fraction, decrease in liquid and plastic limits, and an increase in maximum dry density (MDD), with a decrease in optimum moisture content (OMC) as well as a decrease in shear strength value of the natural soil up to 6% IOT content.

The results indicated a decrease in strength, permeability, maximum dry density, optimum water content and Atterberg limits.

Basic laboratory tests, such as water content, wet and dry density, grain size, specific gravity and Atterberg limits, were performed for twenty-five samples.

Experimental procedures carried out on expansive soil include: (Liquid limit, Plastic limit, Plasticity index, Shrinkage limit, Specific gravity Free swell index and Optimum water content) to determine the swelling parameters and (maximum dry density, California bearing ratio and unconfined compressive strength) to determine the strength parameters.
