Upload NowShrinkage limit can be determined in the laboratory using a disturbed or undisturbed soil sample. Principle for Determining the Shrinkage Limit of Soil: Figure 5.11 shows the schematic diagram in which a fully saturated soil in stage I having volume V1 undergoes shrinkage and on complete drying reaches stage III, where the entire water is […]

Grain Size Analysis of Soil
Article shared by :
The grain size distribution of any soil can be determined using the grain size analysis, also called mechanical analysis. The basic method of mechanical analysis is to sieve the soil through a set of sieves of standard opening size. Sieve analysis can be used only for the mechanical analysis of gravel and sand as the […]
