Abstract:

THE MOISTURE CONTENTS AND DENSITIES OF SOIL TYPE BASES AND THEIR SUBGRADES ARE REPORTED. CHARTS ARE USED TO SHOW THE MONTHLY FLUCTUATIONS IN MOISTURE CONTENTS OF THE BASES AND SUBGRADES EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF THE STANDARD OPTIMUM AND PLASTIC LIMIT OF THE SOILS AND IN TERMS OF THE DEGREE OF SATURATION OF THE EXISTING BASE AND SUBGRADE. THE AVERAGE RELATIVE DENSITIES OF THE BASES ARE GIVEN AND THE INFLUENCE THE DEGREE OF RELATIVE DENSITY HAS UPON THE MOISTURE ABSORBED IS SHOWN. THE SUBGRADES ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO TYPES, GRANULAR TYPE AND SILT-CLAY TYPE, AND THEIR AVERAGE RELATIVE DENSITIES GIVEN AND THE INFLUENCE THE DEGREE OF RELATIVE DENSITY HAS UPON THE MOISTURE ABSORBED IS ALSO SHOWN. /AUTHOR/
