..., and deteriorate soil-structure interaction), a relatively high soil density is necessary. The laboratory tests presented in this article provide a baseline for using hydrophobic soils in construction to ensure that a targeted level of compaction or water content, or both, is obtained. Figure  6 A and 6...

... International, West Conshohocken, PA), to measure water content and soil density is relatively new with both successful and unsatisfactory results being reported. This paper reexamines the TDR method from various aspects, including laboratory investigation of the relation between TDR-measured electrical...

...D Fratta; KA Alshibli; WM Tanner; L Roussel This paper summarizes a new nondestructive approach for the evaluation of soil density and water content. This new measurement methodology involves evaluating the dielectric permittivity and the P-wave velocity in soils as the water content is increased...
