An Improved Rotating Cylinder Test Design for Laboratory Measurement of Erosion in Clayey Soils

This paper describes an improved rotating cylinder test (RCT) device designed and manufactured for laboratory measurement of erosion in clay soils. Special attention is given to the simplicity and robustness of the design of the RCT device. A detailed description of the RCT device is provided, as well as a step-by-step procedure for its calibration, setup, and testing procedure. Typical erosion test results are presented for a clayey soil.
