NATURE AND MAGNITUDE OF SWELL PRESSURE

Wdl Finn, B Strom

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

THE MECHANISM AND NATURE OF SWELL ARE DISCUSSED FROM AN ENGINEERING VIEWPOINT. CRITERIA FOR JUDGING THE SWELL CAPACITY OF A SOIL AND THE PROBABLE MAGNITUDE OF THE SWELL PRESSURE ARE PRESENTED. CONVENTIONAL LABORATORY METHODS OF MEASURING SWELL PRESSURE ARE DISCUSSED AND ARE SHOWN TO BE CONSERVATIVE. THE DESIRABLE FEATURES OF A MEASURING DEVICE ARE PUT FORWARD AND A DEVICE CONFORMING TO THEM IS PRESENTED. THE OPERATION OF THE NEW DEVICE IS DESCRIBED AND TYPICAL SWELL PRESSURE CURVES OBTAINED FROM IT ARE SHOWN. /AUTHOR/
