head permeability test is a common laboratory testing method used to determine the permeability of fine grained soils with intermediate and low permeability such as silts and clay. This testing method can be applied to an undisturbed sample. Theory k= aLln(h1/h2)/A(t2-t1) Table 2 is Schematic of a falling head permeameter (FHWA‚ 2011) EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE This test can be used for soils of low to intermediate permeability but its procedure is not included in BS1377.Water is allowed to flow down

water (moisture) content of a soil sample by oven drying method Reference: ASTM D2216-98 Need and scope of the experiment: In almost all soil tests natural moisture content of the soil is to be determined. The knowledge of the natural moisture content is essential in all studies of soil mechanics. To sight a few‚ natural moisture content is used in determining the bearing capacity and settlement. The natural moisture content will give an idea of the state of soil in the field. Apparatus:

Discusses three major practices that expose soil to erosion and how they can be corrected. Shirley Benjamin EVS 1001 Professor Gehosky Discusses three major practices that expose soil to erosion and how they can be corrected. The three major causes of soil erosion are over cultivation‚ overgrazing‚ and deforestation. These are each all major problems in creating an unsustainable society. The good thing is that each of these causes of erosion can be corrected to create a more sustainable

Effect of Soil pH on the Living Conditions In Lumbricus terrestris Abstract The difference in soil pH weighs a heavy measure on the appearance of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris in different areas of soil. A highly acidic or highly alkaline soil may be the underlying reason for the absence of this earthworm in certain areas where pH plays a large role. In this experiment‚ soil pH was altered with Miracida soil acidifier and Agricultural Limestonea soil correctional for acidic soil. This was
