Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of geotechnical experiments, in particular to a method for testing the moisture content of saturated soil samples. Background technique
[0002] In the process of geotechnical engineering experiments, it is extremely important to measure the saturated water content of soil samples, which is the basis of subsequent experiments. Saturated soil refers to the soil filled with water in the pores. This kind of soil has a high water content, and the traditional drying method is time-consuming, and the internal moisture is not easy to dry. The difference between saturated soil and unsaturated soil is in the moisture content. The index of moisture content reflects the dryness and wetness of the soil sample. Usually, the weight of water and the weight of dry soil should be measured.
[0003] Moisture content is an important index of soil samples, which directly affects the shear strength and compaction degree of soil...
