HGE PRO MAX Flashcards
Component of rock or soil is independent of interparticle friction
Cohesion
A phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading
Liquefaction
A pile of sand keeps from spreading out like a liquid because the weight of the sand keeps the grains stuck together in their current arrangement, mostly out of static friction. This weight and pressure is called
Effective Stress
A practice or procedure used to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material. The size distribution is often of critical Importance to the way the material performs in use
Sieve Analysis
According to USCS, what do you call a soil grain with grain size greater than 4.75 ayu bat less than 75 mm
