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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
