Laboratory Assessment of Clogging Potential Using Soil Drilling Test
The equipment used for soil excavation is subjected to the phenomenon of clogging. Clogging is the process of adhering soil to the surface of the equipment. This can lead to certain economic as well as technical issues to soil drilling activities. In this paper, a semi-empirical and physical stimulation approach is adopted to determine the clogging potential of Thonnakkal soil. The analysis was done with the help of the Atterberg limit test and a drilling equipment developed in the laboratory. In order to analyse the influence of swelling clay on clogging potential, soil mixtures were prepared by combining bentonite and Thonnakkal soil at different percentages and tests were performed. The drilling equipment was used to study the effect of penetration rate on the clogging potential. The changes in clogging potential at different water contents were also assessed.
