What is swell pressure test of soil and it’s laboratory procedure?
The zero Air Void line is obtained when there is no presence of the air in the pores of a soil mass and totally filled with the water and soil mass get saturated. It is determined by the compaction test of a soil. Draw the graph between Dry Density VS water content, calculate the dry density from thRead more
The zero Air Void line is obtained when there is no presence of the air in the pores of a soil mass and totally filled with the water and soil mass get saturated. It is determined by the compaction test of a soil. Draw the graph between Dry Density VS water content, calculate the dry density from the compaction test results, and Zero Air void line is drawn on the graph.

The objective of a swelling pressure test on soil is to determine the swelling pressure of expansive soil when it is not allowed to undergo any volume change. The volume change is arrested or the soil is not allowed to swell in order to test this. The test determines the intrinsic swelling pressureRead more
The objective of a swelling pressure test on soil is to determine the swelling pressure of expansive soil when it is not allowed to undergo any volume change. The volume change is arrested or the soil is not allowed to swell in order to test this.
The test determines the intrinsic swelling pressure of the expansive soil. The test is conducted on a consolidometer. More details are explained in IS 2720(Part 41):1977.
The swelling pressure is dependent on the:
