Measuring the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of clay-bearing rocks is a useful tool to estimate smectite content, or amount of swelling clay in the rock, and is referenced in many aspects of oil and gas exploration. Measuring the CEC of a rock, however, is laborious and depending on the method used requires saturation and extraction steps, the use of multiple chemicals, titration, and ...

The sub-base layer is often the main load-bearing layer of a pavement. It is designed to evenly spread the load of the paving, and any traffic thereon, to the sub-grade below. A well-constructed sub-base will aid drainage and prevent settlement and channelisation - the phenomenon common on cheap installations of block paving, where two 'ruts' develop in the paving.

As spelled out in Section 403 of the IRC, the presumed load-bearing capacity of soil ranges from a high of 12,000 psf (lb. per sq. ft.) for crystalline bedrock to as little as 1500 psf for clay and certain types of silty soils. When a building inspector suspects that the bearing capacity is less than 1500 psf, a soils investigation may be required.
