Classification and Other Standard Tests for Shale Embankments
Previous research has resulted in eight interim reports. This document summarizes the earlier work and constitutes a final report of the project. It is concluded that the Franklin classification system should henceforth be used for Indiana shales; this system uses the slake durability test, in combination with the Atterberg plasticity index for the softer shales, and in combination with the point load strength for the harder ones. Standard test procedures are written for the above tests, as well as for the five-cycle slaking test, which can be used in place of the slake durability one. The other standard test procedures contained herein are: compacted moisture-density relations; compaction-degradation; compressibility, for prediction of settlement; and saturated consolidated undrained shear tests for estimation of stability. Each test is accompanied by sample data, calculations and plots.
