25 *Phases of soils–06: Find γd, n, S and Ww. 24 *Phases of soils–05: Increasing the saturation of a soil. 23 *Phases of soils–04: Finding the wrong data. 22 *Phases of soils–03: Value of the moisture when fully saturated. 21 *Phases of soils–02: Compaction checked via the voids ratio. 17 *Phases of soils-01: Convert from metric units to SI and US units. 16 Basic Concepts and Formulas for the Phases of Soils. Find the shear strength of a soil from the CPT Report. 10 *Exploration–08: Using a boring log to predict soil engineering parameters. The Shear Vane Test determines the in-situ cohesion. Three methods used for SPT depth corrections. Correcting the SPT for depth and sampling method. The sample’s disturbance due to the boring diameter. Find the required number of borings and their depth. Telephone 30 / Fax 30 Website: Email: © Copyright by L.
