Title: LOSS OF BEARING CAPACITY AND VERTICAL DISPLACEMENTS OF NEW JERSEY SOILS
Accession Number: 00237488
Record Type: Component
Abstract: DATA OBTAINED DURING THE YEAR 1954-1955 ON THE SUBJECT OF RELATIVE LOSS OF BEARING CAPACITY AND RELATIVE SOIL HEAVING CHARACTERISTICS OF 30 NEW JERSEY SOIL MATERIALS SUBJECTED TO NATURAL FREEZE-THAW CONDITIONS ARE PRESENTED AND SUMMARIZED. THE RELATIVE LOSS OF SOIL BEARING CAPACITY WAS DETERMINED BY MEASURING THE PENETRATION INTO THE SOILS OF WEIGHTED PLUNGERS. THE SOIL HEAVING CHARACTERISTICS WERE DETERMINED BY MEASURING RELATIVE VERTICAL DISPLACEMENTS OF CONCRETE SLABS. CONCRETE SLABS WERE POURED OVER PREPARED SPECIMENS OF THE MATERIALS UNDER INVESTIGATION TO SIMULATE PAVEMENT CONDITIONS. FOUR WEIGHTED PLUNGERS WERE ARRANGED SO AS TO BEAR UPON THE SOIL BENEATH EACH SLAB. AIR TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, AND GROUND-WATER ELEVATION AND TEMPERATURE WERE TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE ANALYSIS. SUMMARIZATION OF DATA RESULTED IN THE MATERIALS BEING TABULATED FIRST IN RELATION TO THEIR RELATIVE LOSS OF BEARING CAPACITY, AND SECOND IN RELATION TO THEIR RELATIVE HEATING CHARACTERISTICS.
