Masters Theses
Abstract
"Volume change of Putnam soil under different moisture contents and the swelling pressure developed by the soil at the same moisture contents were investigated using standard test procedures.
The theory of one dimensional consolidation of Terzaghi was reviewed as well as the literature on swelling and swell pressure.
It was found that swell depends mainly on the initial water content, while swelling pressure depends mainly on the dry density of the soil"--Abstract, page ii.
