| Abstract | This investigation is aimed at finding a way of determining the critical state soil parameters. Due to practical and economic considerations this study is
restricted to the use of
well-established empirical
correlations between soil properties as the basis of a
comparison with the author' s own laboratory research. To
achieve t his purpose, the research has been divided into the following two parts: (i) a check was made that there was no significant difference between the test results on samples taken by using rotary drilling and percussive wash boring, the latter method being widely used in Thailand, while on the other hand most of the empirical correlations have
obtained from rotary drilling. Therefore, the previously
established empirical correlations could be used.
(ii) it is shown that some of the empirical correlations can assist
in estimating critical state soil parameters within a certain degree of accuracy and with some limitations. Such
conclusions make it possible to reduce the cost and time for
estimating critical state soil parameters. |
