The plastic limit of clays [PDF]

, 2013
The plastic limit of soils was first described by Atterberg in 1911. The thread-rolling test was standardised at the US Public Roads Bureau in the 1920s and 1930s, and has subsequently become one of the standard tests of soil mechanics.

Modelling of expansive clay interaction with skeleton structures considering the effect of replacement permeability

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2021
The present work investigates the interplay between building stiffness and replacement soil thickness and permeability, when an underlying swelling clay layer is subjected to continuous moisture using 3D numerical analysis. Simulations are done using the

Developing a high capacity axis translation apparatus for gas shale testing [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Gas shales are usually partially saturated due to hydrocarbon generation and often have a low in-situ degree of saturation less than 40 %. During stimulation, substantial fluid imbibition into the formation occurs due to high suction.
