Comparison of Hydrometer Settling Times in Soil Particle Size Analysis

Adequacy of laser diffraction for soil particle size analysis

Sedimentation has been a standard methodology for particle size analysis since the early 1900s. In recent years laser diffraction is beginning to replace sedimentation as the prefered technique in some industries, such as marine sediment analysis. However, for the particle size analysis of soils, which have a diverse range of both particle size and shape, laser diffraction still requires evalua...

Effect of Geogrid Aperture Size and Soil Particle Size on Geogrid-Soil Interaction under Pull-Out Loading

Alternative soil particle-size analysis by gamma-ray attenuation

In 1992 a new method of soil particle-size analysis was introduced, which coupled sedimentation to gamma-ray attenuation. The theoretical possibility of an alternative for this method is here presented, which includes the necessity of sieving soil samples, but simpli®es the gamma-ray measurements. Advantages and disadvantages of this alternative are discussed. # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All r...

Soil Particle Concentrations and Size Analysis Using a Dielectric Method

1922). In this approach, solution, containing sediment particles, is directly sampled at a given depth and time, Limitations of traditional methods for particle-size analysis warrant and particle concentrations are measured by gravimetric the investigation of new techniques. An alternative method based on the difference between the dielectric constant of soil solids (≈4) and analysis. Because o...
