The MMDA in its previous study for a proposed sanitary land fill site in Cavite is planning to use a day liner for the landfill. Tests were performed on a sample clay from a borrow site. It was deemed necessary to have a minimum clay Iiner thickness of 0.30 m. The following results were obtained in the laboratory test Initial water lev! in standpipe... 96 cm. Final water level in standpipe... Diameter of standpipe 56 cm. 12 mm Height of soil sample Diameter of soil sample Duration of test... The project manager would like to datermine the effectiveness of using on-site clay soils for the lining material if it is favorable. Teste were also performed on the on-site clay and the following results were obtained. Height of soil sample ........ Diameter of soil sample Volume of water collected.. Constant head. Duration of test ... c) 10.2 cm. 5.4 cm 12 hours. *** 8 cm. 5 cm. 75600 cm³ 60 cm. 1050 hours a) Compute the permeability of the borrow clay in cm/sec. b) Compute the permeability of the on-site clay in cm/sec. Compute the thickness of th-sile clay which is equivalent to 0. n. of the borrow clay.
