Nomographic Calculation of Linear Extensibility in Soils Containing Coarse Fragments
1968
Linear extensibility is a variable being used by the Soil Survey Laboratories to characterize the expansion-contraction properties of soil. It is calculated from bulk density data and must be corrected for coarse fragments when they are present in the field. A pair of nomographs is presented to facilitate these calculations. The volume percent of fine-earth fabric (F) is determined from the first nomograph and transposed to the second nomograph where it serves to correct the extensibility as determined on the fine-earth fabric. The value F may also be used to facilitate conversion of other laboratory data to a field basis where coarse fragments are present.
