Flashcards do conjunto (9)
- 1SandA granular material composed of fine rock and mineral particles with grain sizes between silt and gravel.
- 2Blow CountThe number of hammer blows required to drive a sampling tube or probe a specific distance into soil during the Standard Penetration Test (SPT).
- 3ClayFine-grained soil with particles smaller than 0.002 mm, exhibiting plasticity when wet.
- 4Coarse-Grained (Granular) SoilSoil with larger particles, like sand and gravel, that primarily rely on friction for stability.
- 5CohesionThe force that holds together particles of clay or similar fine-grained soils due to molecular attraction.
- 6Cohesive SoilSoil with fine particles and significant clay content, exhibiting strong cohesion and plastic behavior.
- 7Fine-Grained SoilSoil with smaller particles, such as silt and clay, which are influenced by water content.
- 8CobblesRounded rock fragments larger than gravel but smaller than boulders, typically 2.5–10 inches in diameter.
- 9BouldersLarge rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter.
