Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

The coefficient of permeability (K value) of a soil describes how easily a liquid will move through a soil. True )False Permeability measurement is used to: calculation of seepage through earth dams calculation of seepage under sheet pile walls estimating the seepage rate from waste storage O all of the answers are correct Which state describes soil that does not show cracks when deformed (choose correct state that applies). A) Plastic state B) Liquid State C) Semisolid state D) Solid state
In natural state, a soil weighs 3500 lb/cy. The same soil has a load factor of 0.83. a. What is the unit weight of the soil in its loose state? b. A contractor has seven (7) Caterpillar 725 articulating trucks available to haul this same soil to a project that requires 55,000 ccy of the soil. In the compacted state, the soil weighs 4300 lb/cy. Each Caterpillar 725 has a maximum haul capacity of 17 lcy. Currently the project schedule only accounts for each truck hauling no more than 550 loads to the site. Based on the maximum capacity of the Caterpillar 725, can this schedule requirement be met?

Please answer completely and legibly. Particle Technology
2.9 TNT A B5I 9:33 K/s Which of the following is incorrect statement. * Uniformity coefficient represents the shape of the particle size distribution curve. For a well graded soil, both uniformity coefficient and coefficient of gradation are nearly unity. A soil is said to be well graded if it has most of the particles of about the same size. all of the above. Pick up the correct statement from the following: * To an agriculturist, soil is the substance existing on the earth's surface, which grows and develops plants To a geologist, soils the material in a relatively thin surface zone within which roots oceur, and rest of the crust is termed as rock irrespective of hardness, To an engineer, soil is the unaggregated and uncemented deposits of minerals and organic particles covering the earth's crust All of the above The bulk density of a soil is defined as the unit weight of the soil solids. * true false
Note: Give me both solutions with clear steps. A) The particle size distribution for Soil 1 is shown. What are the USCS group symbol and group name of this soil? B) The particle size distribution for Soil 2 is shown. The soil is inorganic and has the following Atterberg Limit values: LL=34 and PL=29. What are the USCS group symbol and group name for this soil?
