  • Shortcomings in the estimation of clay fraction by hydrometer 
    Stott, P; Theron, E (scielo: Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2016)
    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 suspected ...
  • 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 Engineering, 2015)
    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 ...
