Abstract: |
The evaluation of the abrasiveness of soil is not unified or standardised at the moment. Mostly used are complex index processes with greatly simplified model bodies and simplified test conditions such as the LCPC abrasimeter test. These processes can however at best measure the efficiency of the wear mechanism and are not capable of reflecting the strength of the bonding of the internal fabric, an essential factor determining the level of operational demands, i.e. the resistance to excavation. These index processes therefore offer no advantages over evaluation processes based on conventional soil mechanics parameters. Quite the opposite, these mostly prototype tests imply new problems that are inevitable with the testing methods. The paper thus presents at the end an extended method of evaluating wear to excavation tools and the conveyance or transport of excavated spoil. |
