Shrinkage of Clay on Drying, A small brick of modelling clay is made, of 6 inches in length. Two marks, exactly 5 inches apart, are made on the clay, and the brick weighed. As the brick dries the distance apart of the two marks is measured from time to time, and the loss in weight determined after each measurement. Eventually drying is completed in the oven, a final measurement and weighing made, and curves drawn to show the connection between shrinkage and water-content.
The experiment should
...be repeated with a brick composed of clay mixed with about \ per cent, of quick- lime, and the results compared with those previously obtained.
CHAPTER VIII Mechanical Analysis of Soil The mechanical analysis of a soil consists of its division into various grades of particles according to size. This is a most important point with regard to the physical properties of a soil, especially as a measure of the very fine particles present. The latter give the soil power to retain moisture and resist drought, whilst shrinkage on drying and tenacity when dry are largely dependent on low proportions of humus, sand, and chalk.
