| Summary: | The aim of this work is to evaluate and assess the swelling pressure of soils in the field using a new portable, low cost device, which was released through the task accomplished here. An empirical correlation curve is developed relating the "soil swelling pressure" to the "dial reading" obtained from the Swell Measuring Field Device (S.M.F.D.), which is presented in a graphical form to simplify its use. |
