  • 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 ...
  • Duplicate Testing Conducted On The Input Parameters For The Estimation Of Potential Expansiveness Of Clay 
    Badenhorst, Wessel; Theron, Elizabeth; Stott, Philip (Innovative Geotechnics for Africa - Bouassida, Khemakhem & Haffoudhi, 2015-04)
    This paper presents a study conducted on three active clay soils analysed at seven commercial laboratories in South Africa. Commercial test results are often used as input parameters for prediction models used to estimate ...
  • 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 ...
