| Abstract | This thesis presents the possibility of correlating
the Oedometric curve to the Atterberg limits and the natural
water content of clay, studied on Bangkok clay
Fifteen series of tests, consisting of Index Properties Determination, Consolidation and CIU Triaxial Test were performed on undisturbed samples, taken from 3.00 m.
below the existing ground level at Don Muang Airport site.
The test results were collected in Table 3.1 Compression index or Compression ratio, determined as the inclination of the steepest part of the load compression
curves, was plotted with liquid limit, natural water content
and initial void ratio. These relationships were compared
with the previous or published correlations and were studied
only in the simple linear model. Any previous correlation
that coincided with the test results was considered and then
modified by using the sum of the least square method in order to represent the results.
Deviation of the test results are determined by using a % error band compared to the modified equations. It is found that all the test results are included within a ±20% band of error.
It can also be concluded that the value of Su/Pc of the soil related to plasticity index better than to Su/P. when compared to the Skempton's line. |
