5. A geotechnical engineering laboratory exercise was conducted to determine the suitability of a clay soil for use in a landfill liner. The exercise consisted of two parts: (a) determining the hydraulic conductivity of the clay soil using a falling head permeameter, and (b) predicting the expected time for leachate to break through a landfill liner made from the same clay soil. a) A sketch (not-to-scale) of the laboratory apparatus used in the falling head permeability test and associated information is shown below. Based on the test results, determine the hydraulic conductivity of the clay soil. Report your answer in cm/s. Diameter of standpipe = 1 mm Diameter of clay soil core = 50 mm Length of clay soil core = 100 mm Aren a Sumple area A The following results were collected in the falling head test: Time (hours) Head (h, in mm) 0.0 0.5 1.0 2.0 4.0 Valve 1000 877 705 546 273

A sample of moist sand was cut out of a natural deposit by means of a sampling cylinder. The volume of the cylinder was 478 ml; the weight of the sample alone was 884 grams and 830 grams after drying. The volume of the dried sample, when rammed tight into a graduated cylinder, was 418 ml and its volume, when poured loosely into the same cylinder, was 616 ml. if the particle specific gravity was 2.67, compute the density index and the degree of saturation of the deposit.

As part of a quality controlprogram, the field inspection engineer conducted a sand cone test to determine the field density. The following data were recorded using the sand cone method. • Calibrated dry density of Ottawa sand = 1667 ??/?3• Mass of Ottawa sand to fill the cone = 0.117 kg• Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 6.1 kg• Mass of jar + cone + sand (after use) = 2.83 kg• Mass of moist soil from hole = 3.35 kg• Moisture content of moist soil = 16.1%a.

Can u help me with the question below
A permeability test is carried out on a sample of and cross section is 1500mm^ 2 a soil whose k = 3 * 10^(-1) m / s. Briefly identify this while indicating its degree of permeability What diameter of measuring pipe do we use knowing that the load goes from 275 mm to 200 mm in 5 min? Compare the permeability of this soil identified in question a) with that of a sandy silt. Justify your answer Compare the frost hardness of the soil identified in question a) with that of gradual sand. Between these two soils, which will be the most suitable as road fill without risk of frost swelling? Justify your answer
