ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF CLAY SHALES. REPORT 1. DEVELOPMENT OF CLASSIFICATION INDICES FOR CLAY SHALES

THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CLASSIFICATION INDICES FOR CLAY SHALES, AND THE DETERMINATION OF RESIDUAL SHEAR STRENGTHS FOR THIS MATERIAL. TESTS AND PROCEDURES USED IN IDENTIFYING AND CLASSIFYING CLAY SHALES ARE INVESTIGATED TO EVALUATE THEIR EFFECTS ON STRENGTH VALUES. SOME STANDARDIZED APPARATUS, PROCEDURES, AND DESCRIPTORS FOR EACH CLASSIFICATION INDEX ARE PROPOSED. /TRRL/.
