Wow ! You took the words out of my mouth ! EXCELLENT! 1) Figures 4.15 and 4.16: How does the moisture content you reported compare to the Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) of the compacted soil ? Which compactive effort was used ? 2) The chart for "Favorable Compaction Zone for Swelling Soils in Field" shows moisture above optimum as the start to minimizing swelling. Should the favorable compaction zone actually start at OMC +2% moisture ? or 5% ? 3) The "Criteria for Classification of Expansive Soils" slide: Is there a source for this ?
Thankyou very much. It solved all of my doubts. Very Helpful Explanation. 😊
Thank you very much....you have my utmost respect

thank you very much sir
Thank you so much for the explanation its really helpful.
How Can we relate the swelling characteristic and consolidation characteristic by using Oedometer test
P.S. Could you add a little about yourself under the "About" section of your profile ?
