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 […]

The following article will guide you about how to determine the permeability of soil. Constant Head Permeability Test: Permeability of coarse-grained soils having high permeability is determined in the laboratory by the constant head permeability test. The principle of the test is to measure the volume of water flowing through a soil specimen in a […]
