  • Assessment Of Clays By Small-Scale Suction Tests 
    Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (Innovative Geotechnics for Africa - Bouassida, Khemakhem & Haffoudhi (Eds.) 2015, 2017-01)
    The relationship between suction and water content gives crucial information about a soil. The time and cost of determining the full soil water suction curve make it not feasible for small projects like economic housing. ...
  • Assessment Of Reliability Of The Hydrometer By Examination Of Sediment 
    Stott, P.R.; Monye, P.K.; Theron, E. (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2016)
    A fundamental aspect of the characterization of any soil is the assessment of its particle size distribution. While this is relatively easy for the coarse fraction it remains problematic for soil fines particularly for ...
  • Creation of a hydrological modelling environment to assist in the decision making of water-related activities 
    Viljoen, Sarel Johannes (Bloemfontein : Central University of Technology, Free State, 2007)
    In South Africa, water is a scarce resource and it has become very important to manage this resource effectively. The State developed a regulating framework, under the hospice of the Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry, ...
  • Estimation of Shrink / Swell Potential and Variability of Clays by Small-Scale Suction Tests 
    Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (SEAGS & AGSSEA: Geotechnical Engineering Journal, 2017)
    The relationship between suction and water content gives crucial information about a soil. Small projects like economic housing do not warrant the time and cost of determining the full soil water suction curve. A considerable ...
  • Estimation Of Shrink / Swell Potential And Variability Of Clays By Small-Scale Suction Tests 
    Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (Geotechnical Engineering Journal of the SEAGS & AGSSEA, 2017-01)
    The relationship between suction and water content gives crucial information about a soil. Small projects like economic housing do not warrant the time and cost of determining the full soil water suction curve. A considerable ...
  • Extent of inaccuracy in the hydrometer test 
    Monye, Priscilla Ketlametswe (Bloemfontein : Central University of Technology, Free State, 2018-07)
    Assessment of particle size distribution is a fundamental aspect of any soil characterization and is commonly used for soil classification. While it is relatively easy to classify the coarse fraction, classification of the ...
  • Geotutor : software created as an educational resource for geotechnical engineering 
    Badenhorst, W.; Theron, E. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, 2015)
    Innovative software applications may prove to be advantageous in a teaching environment. It has been proven that technological teaching produces better achievement in class and an increased interest in the relevant field ...
  • Guidelines for spacing of priority controlled intersections along urban collector roads 
    Visser, Salomé ([Bloemfontein?] : Central University of Technology, Free State, 2007)
  • Hydrometer Under The Microscope 
    Monye, P.K.; Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2017)
    For many years the hydrometer was the only technique that was internationally standardised for geotechnical particle size distribution analysis of fine soils. Nettleship et al. (1997). Recently Britain has added the pipette ...
  • The implementation of the water release module of the WAS program at the Vaalharts Water Users' Association 
    Jansen van Vuuren, Arno (Bloemfontein : Central University of Technology, Free State, 2008)
    Food and water are two basic human needs. International projections indicate that water shortages will be prevalent among poorer countries where resources are limited and population growth is rapid, such as the Middle East, ...
  • The Movement Of Soil Moisture Under A Government Subsidy House 
    Bester, D.M.; Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2016-04)
    The South African government's attempts to provide affordable, subsidised housing for the very poor has suffered from a large number of structural failures, many due to heaving foundations. These houses are particularly ...
  • Shortcomings In The Estimation Of Clay Fraction By Hydrometer 
    Stott, P.; Theron, E. (Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2016-06)
    The estimation of clay fraction is important for predicting the engineering properties of a soil. SANS 3001 GR3 (SANS 2011) specifies a procedure for clay fraction determination using a hydrometer. It has long been ...
  • Some Shortcomings In The Standard South African Testing Procedures For Assessing Heaving Clay 
    Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015-06)
    Design of foundations for most light structures in South Africa, and in particular for low-cost housing, relies heavily on particle size analysis and the determination of Atterberg Limits. The tests for these properties ...
  • Variability in soil properties and its consequences for design 
    Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (First Southern African Geotechnical Conference, At Sun City, South Africa, 2016)
    It has been observed that when samples from one particular layer of one particular test pit are analysed by different laboratories the results may vary over an alarmingly large range. Jakobsz and Day (2007) suggested that ...
