Design and Construction of Compacted Shale Embankments. Volume 3. Slaking Indexes for Design.

摘要

A criterion for anticipating the performance of shales in embankments according to simple slaking indexes is presented. The basis for this criterion is information on service performance of numerous highway embankments of generally known construction in relation to the slake-durability index or jar-slake index of associated shales. This evaluation procedure is offered for further study and field trial at the state level.
