Soil Compaction Test

Soil compaction is the major area of geotechnical engineering. Soil is composed of multiple pores present on its surface, while the soil is mainly composed of gravel, sand, rocks, etc. The arrangement of these rocks and gravels is such that they build up voids (spaces) between them, which allows spaces for the roots of the plants and crops to spread and absorb the required amount of nutrients. Soil compaction is a major problem primarily caused by human activities, micro-organisms, and other multiple factors.

Define the term Degree of saturation.

Define the term optimum moisture content.
A constant velocity grit chamber is used in a small coastal community as a form of pre- treatment to incoming wastewater flows. The town regularly experiences a number of visitors during school holiday periods. If the usual wastewater flow is 10 ML per day, and the usual holiday period flow is 18 ML per day, design an appropriately sized grit chamber arrangement if the target grit has a diameter of 0.16 mm with a specific gravity of 2.75. Show your solutions for the following (but not necessarily in this order): 1. Determine the settling velocity for the target particle 2. Assuming a horizontal flow velocity of 0.32 m/s determine an appropriate overflow rate for the grit chamber 3. Determine an appropriate chamber length and cross sectional area and draw figures 4. Comment on how you could accommodate for the seasonal fluctuations in flows.
