Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate the stability of the design criteria recommended by Betram and Terzaghi as compared with the experimental result. A series of NEF tests was conducted to determine the loss of volume in base soils. The three kinds of base soils classified as CL, SC and SM are used for the NEF tests with various hydraulic pressures and filters following upper and lower bond of the criteria. Volume loss characteristics of the base soils was examined closely by the results of the test successfully. Firstly, it was found that the loss of base soils was mostly eroded at the first stage of seepage. Secondly, the amount of loss volume was ranked CL > SM > SC in order of their amounts for upper criteria, and SM > CL > SC orderly for lower criteria. Thirdly, the volume loss of all soils was increased with increasing the hydraulic pressures. And lastly, the needs of the new design criteria was proved for the control of seepage and piping.
