  • 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 ...
  • 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 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 ...
  • 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 ...
