A laboratory characterization of soils and clay-bearing rocks using the Enslin-Neff water-adsorption testPetkovšek, Ana (Avtor) Maček, Matej (Avtor) Majes, Bojan (Avtor) , Fakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo Univerze v Mariboru (Lastnik avtorskih pravic) water adsorptionsoil water characteristic curvemethylene blue valuesoil suctionThe application of the Enslin-Neff water-adsorption test for the determination of soil-index properties has been investigated on commercially available reference minerals and on real soils. The Enslin-Neff test is a simple and reliable laboratory method, which can provide important information about the behavior of soils, clay-bearing rocks and aggregate fines that are in contact with water. Although the test has been frequently used for bentonite testing, practically no results have been published about the physical meaning of the Enslin-Neff water-adsorption values for real soils. The results of this study indicate that the Enslin-Neff water-adsorption test can be used to obtain accurate values of some soil-index properties, such as the liquid limit, the plasticity index, the methylene-blue value, and the soil-water characteristic curve.20092018-06-06 11:20:11Znanstveno delo70689slFakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo Univerze v Mariboru
