Two soil samples fully saturated were collected from the field for testing in the lab, both having a natural void ratio of 0.6. The composition of the soil particles is as follows: Sample 1: Composed of ONLY quartz [3] Sample 2: Composed of 65% quartz, 23% mica &12% iron oxide. [4] The average value of specific gravity of soil particles is 2.65 for quartz, 3.0 for mica and 3.8 for iron oxide. Calculate the total unit weight of soil...

A falling-head permeameter containing a silty clay loam soil sample has a sample diameter of 10 cm, a falling-head tube of diameter 2 cm, and a sample length of 4 cm. If the initial head is 15 cm. It falls 4 cm over a period of 6 hours. (a) Find the hydraulic conductivity of the soil sample in m/s and ft/d. (b) What would be the hydraulic head after 12 hours? (c) How long would it take for the hydraulic...

The dimension of the soil sample of a cylindrical shape is provided in Figure 1. In its natural moist state, the soil sample has the total weight of 1350 g before the water content determination. The specific gravity, Gs of the soil is given as 2.72. The values obtained for the determination of water content are: The mass of moist soil sample + mass of empty can = 1.415 kg; the mass of fully dry soil sample + mass of...

A falling head permeability test was performed on a re-moulded silty clay soil sample 150 mm in diameter and 250 mm in length. The diameter of the standpipe was 12.7 mm. At the start of the test, the height of the water in the standpipe measured 2,236 mm above the constant water level where the soil sample was immersed in. After 7 hours and 45 minutes, the height of the water in the standpipe was measured at 1971 mm. Determine:...

You collected a sample of soil from your backyard to use for as a source of inoculum for your isolate project, and want to use plating technique to determine the number of microbes present. Based on what you know about microbial cell counts in soil environments, you estimate that there might be up to 1010 cells per g of soil, but that in many soil samples only a small fraction (0.1-1%) of cells are typically able to be cultured on...

Calculate Liming Requirements. You have a soil sample with a CEC of 10 meq / 100 g soil, a pH of 4.8 and a BS of 37%. You would like to raise this soil to a pH of 6.5, so you need to raise the BS to 65%. You also have a Mg deficiency. Assume 93% purity of your liming agent. During screening of a 100g sample, you had 1.5 g on the 8-mesh screen, and 13.4 g on the...
