Alternative Text for Map Frame/Map Description
Two line charts showing the swell consolidation rest results at the River Bend Cross site
Text Version
The swell/consolidation test results shows two line charts, mapped with a horizontal axis labeled Applied Pressure – PSF ranging from 100 to 105, and a vertical axis labeled compressions percentage expansion ranging from -7 to 3.
Top chart
The top chart shows a line graph, starting at the intersection of applied pressure of approximately 250 and compression percentage expansion of 0, running to an applied pressure of 1,000 and compression percentage of -0.5, then jumping to a compression percentage of 2.5, and then running to point beyond 10,000 applied pressure and a compression percentage of -1. The text underneath this chart reads:
- Project: 5680 U.S. Highway 85/87, Fountain, Colorado
- Sample description: Claystone, Silty
- Note: Sample was inundated with water at 1,000 PSF
- Sample location: R08 at 9 feet
- Natural dry unit weight: 105.2 PCF
- Natural moisture content: 23.0%
- Percent swell/compression: 3.0
Bottom chart
The bottom chart shows a line chart, starting at the intersection of applied pressure at approximately 250 and a compression percentage expansion of 0, gradually moving to the bottom right with an applied pressure of 3,000 and a compression percentage expansion of -7.
- Project: 5680 U.S. Highway 85/87, Fountain, Colorado
