This paper presents the mechanical properties of soil. In order to determine the properties of soil under laboratory conditions, we made use of a special measuring device, viz. a bevameter. Two types of soil with diff erent levels of moisture were examined and their mechanical properties determined. Measurements were taken of non pressed and compressed soil. A measuring network was set up, consisting of measuring and recording devices. In the course of measuring, the force and penetration depth of the pressing plate were recorded simultaneously. Four diff erent diameters of pressing plate were used, resp. 25, 38, 50 and 70 mm. The pressure on the contact area was calculated a er completion of the measurements, and the relationships between pressure and penetration depth were presented graphically.
Malý V., Kučera M., 2014. Determination of mechanical properties of soil under laboratory conditions. Res. Agr. Eng., 60 (Special Issue): S66-S69. This paper presents the mechanical properties of soil. In order to determine the properties of soil under laboratory conditions, a special measuring device was constructed, viz. a bevameter. Two types of soil with different levels of moisture were examined and their mechanical properties were determined. Measurements were taken of non-compressed soil. A measuring network was set up, consisting of measuring and recording devices. In the course of measuring, the force and penetration depth of the pressing plate were recorded simultaneously. Three different diameters of pressing plate were used, namely 38, 50 and 70 mm. The pressure on the contact area was calculated after completion of the measurements, and the relationships between pressure and penetration depth were presented graphically.
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.
