Atterberg limits Puns

Hi, I'm trying to get some clarification regarding the water content that is measured in the Atterberg limits, but having some trouble finding the answer in the literature.

I know that pore space, and therefore the amount of water able to be stored in pores can be affected by disturbances to the soil (such as compaction).

But, the Atterberg limits (particularly plastic and liquid limits) are not affected by soil disturbance as the tests can be performed on sieved material. As this is the case, can someone explain where exactly this water is? Is it the water that gets absorbed into the crystal lattice of the clay minerals (swelling clays)?

Sorry if this is a basic question, I'm new to soil sciences and want to learn

i have a soil assignment on atterberg limits, one question in particular im a bit confused on. Q) write a short summary of the soil properties and of how good is soil 2 as a subgrade material? Given i have all the results already for soil 2, how do i know how good soil 2 is as a subgrade material? and what projects in construction would clay be considered for? results were obtain by casagrande liquid limit test, cone penetration and plastic limit test. thanks

Is there an ASTM or AASHTO specification for how long samples can be stored for tests or is it a matter of in-house decision? Currently we store the samples for up to 3 months after performing atterberg tests on them in zip lock bags or plastic buckets.

If not Why?

Hi,

Geologist&Geophysicist by training.

I was wondering if there are any good references/papers or resources on the Atterberg Limits, and what basis they have in physical reality.

I'm thinking along the lines of elastic theory - do they relate to moduli or other physical properties in the same way things such as compressional velocity, elastic behaviour etc.

The paper that got my attention was this:

Fener, M., Kahraman, S., Bay, Y. and Gunaydin, O., 2005. Correlations between P-wave velocity and Atterberg limits of cohesive soils. Canadian geotechnical journal, 42(2), pp.673-677.

There was a reply to the paper which raised a few issues with what the authors did, specifically the fact that what they were correlating had no physical justification; correlation not being causation:

Sawangsuriya, A. and Fratta, D., 2006. Discussion of" Correlations between P-wave velocity and Atterberg limits of cohesive soils". Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 43(6), pp.653-655.

If anyone needs those papers PM me and I'll send you them.

So yeah, what I am looking for is any discussion about the Atterberg limits. Does anyone know any good starting points?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

But let me give it a shot.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

He’s the new temp.

It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

A play on words.
