Properties research of kinetic sand by use of stabilometer
As the title implies the article is dedicated to the properties research of kinetic sand by use of stabilometer. The article represents a description of such innovative material, as kinetic sand. Kinetic sand literature review is given and a range of knowledge about kinetic sand properties is analyzed. Much attention is given to the studies of sandy soils with surface-active material (or engine oil). It is spoken in detail about triaxial compression device (stabilometer). The article gives a brief review of stabilometer details and then it gives a detailed review about stabilometer calculated options. The author focuses on the laboratory experiment, that helps define kinetic sand strength and deformation parameters under the triaxial test condition. Laboratory experiment results are analyzed, kinetic sand properties are specificized. The author comes to the conclusion that research should continue.
