The clay whose sensitivity ranges from 8-16 has which kind of the structure? Correct Answer Flocculent

Explanation:

Classification 

Sensitivity 

Insensitive clay

< 1 

Slightly sensitive clay

1-2 

Medium sensitive clay 

2-4 

Very sensitive clay

4-8 

Slightly quick clay 

8-16 

Medium quick clay

16-32 

Very quick clay

32-64 

Extra quick clay

>64 


Flocculent and dispersed structure: 

  • The flocculated structure is present in clay particles that contain a larger surface area.
  • These are charged particles that have a positive charge on the edges and a negative charge on the face of the particle.
  • When there is a net attractive force between the particles, then positively charged particles attracted towards negatively charged faces which results in the formation of a flocculated structure. 
  • It is formed when the size of the particle is less than 0.0002 mm. 
  • Surface Electrical forces play the predominant role in the formation of this structure
