Weathering-induced surface change outdoor-exposure test using a cylinder specimen Start day after 90 days after 120 days deterioration processcaused by weathering
Test Case Series N : without Relics Preservation Admixture (TOT) Series P : with Relics Preservation Admixture (TOT) TOT has developed by Tanaka Geology Consultants, Co.Ltd.
Unconfined Compression Test Results-Series N (not used TOT)- deterioration process caused by weathering The peak value of Stress is called Unconfined Compression Strength (soil strength).
Unconfined Compression Test Results-Series P (used TOT)- deterioration process caused by weathering Because of TOT effects, the peak values became larger than Series N.
Comparison of Results Unconfined Compression Strength: Peak value of Stress on unconfined compression test result
Spectral Characteristics-Series N- deterioration process caused by weathering
Spectral Characteristics-Series P- deterioration process caused by weathering
