The Effect of Clay Type and Amount on the Magnitude of Dielectric Dispersion

Significant progress in the area of soil technology has been somewhat
limited due to the slow development of fresh approaches, new techniques and
equipment which could !characterize clay -water electrolyte systems destroying
the clay mass.
This paper has as its purposes :(a) description of the alternating current
response characteristics of soils in the radio frequeney rage (106 - 108 Hertz)
and (b) illustration of the influences of clay type and amount on magnitude of
electrical dispersion and presentation of a new method for classifying soils.
