7 <br /> compaction test to assess the breakdown effect of glass particles in the material <br /> gradation. <br /> water-soluble sulfate, laboratory resistivity, and pH tests on soil samples <br /> were performed to assess corrosion potential in concrete and metals. The volume <br /> change characteristics of the foundation materials were investigated by <br /> incrementally-loaded consolidation tests. Compressibility of the laboratory- <br /> saturated soil was assessed on selected, relatively undisturbed samples of near <br /> surface soils and clay strata. <br /> The shear strength characteristics of the upper native materials were <br /> assessed by performing direct shear tests. Triaxial, unconsolidated undrained <br /> and miniature vane strength tests, as well as torvane and pocket penetrometer <br /> strength estimates, were conducted on deeper samples of clay. <br /> The shear strength characteristics of potential fill material composed of <br /> reworked native soil blended with glass were assessed with a consolidated- <br /> undrained triaxial compression test with pore water pressure measurements. The <br /> test sample was remolded to about 90 percent of the maximum dry density evaluated <br /> by ASTM D 1557 standard test. <br /> The following tabulation presents the types and numbers of tests performed, <br /> and the means used in presenting the test results. <br /> Number <br /> Type of Test of Tests Presentation <br /> Water Content 53 Plotted on boring logs and tabu- <br /> lated on Summary of Test Results. <br /> Total and Dry Unit Weights 51 Plotted on boring logs and tabu- <br /> lated on Summary of Test Results. <br /> Liquid and Plastic Limits 19 Plotted on boring logs and tabu- <br /> lated on Summary of Test Results. <br /> Percent Passing the No. 200 Sieve 37 Tabulated on boring logs and <br /> Summary of Test Results. <br /> Sieve Analyses 21 Presented on grain size curves, Plates <br /> 14 through 23. <br /> Consolidation Tests 4 Presented on Plates 24 through 27. <br /> pH, Sulfate, Resistivity 2 Tabulated on Summary of Test Results. <br /> Compaction (ASTM D 1557) 2 Presented on Plates 28 and 29. <br /> R Value 1 Tabulated on Summary of Test <br /> Results. <br /> Miniature Vane 7 Plotted on boring logs and tabu- <br /> lated on Summary of Test Results. <br /> Direct Shear, Multi-Stage 3 Presented on Plates 30 through 32. <br /> 1144A/CC-7 :: McClelland <br />
