Abstract
The paper under discussion tries to relate what the authors call as absorption limits of fine-grained soils to their cone liquid limits and to study the effect of drying on the absorption limit. After a careful reading of the paper, the discusser feels that there is a need to clarify some of the issues discussed in the paper to avoid con-fusion and to have more clarity. The term absorption limit is considered by the authors as the water content absorbed by a dry soil pat at the shrinkage limit void ratio when it is allowed to
期刊介绍:
Geomechanics is concerned with the application of the principle of mechanics to earth-materials (namely geo-material). Geoengineering covers a wide range of engineering disciplines related to geo-materials, such as foundation engineering, slope engineering, tunnelling, rock engineering, engineering geology and geo-environmental engineering. Geomechanics and Geoengineering is a major publication channel for research in the areas of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical and geological engineering, engineering geology, geo-environmental engineering and all geo-material related engineering and science disciplines. The Journal provides an international forum for the exchange of innovative ideas, especially between researchers in Asia and the rest of the world.
