Abstract. In resent years, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique has been applicated in a relatively small scale, which includes soil, rocks, coals ,concrete and so on. In this paper, the auther indicate the theoretical background of NMR in short words and explain the measurement methods of T 1 and T 2 relaxation. Then the important parameters that have great impact of the result is emphasized. After introducing the representative research scope in soil, rocks, coals and concrete, the advantages and limitation of the NMR application are clear. Although the result of the NMR test is not accurate totally, the trend is correct and the accuracy is trusted in geotechnical engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
