The specific surface is an important parameter using in geotechnical engineering field. Indeed, the Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether
(EGME) Method is used for determination the specific surface of fine grained soils (clay and silt). However, grain size distribution is evaluated for measuring specific surface of sands. But, are there other experimental tests and analytical methods to identify the specific surface of sands rather than grain size distribution?
Dear Mr. Taiba,
maybe a meticolous stduy using the grain size distribution and grain morphology determined by means of, e.g., a CAMSIZER may help you make some progress in this issue. It is certainly not an easy task to solve this problem and needs some computation.
I wish you much success
