Sieve Analysis and Permeability Test Results

Chapter four presents the results and discussions of sieve analysis tests conducted on various roads, including Gashua, Gujba, Potiskum, and Maiduguri. It also details the results of permeability tests using both constant head and falling head methods on sandy and clay soils, respectively. The calculated permeability coefficients for sandy soil average 0.098 cm/s, while for clay soil, the average is 0.002036.

RESULT OF PERMEABILITY TEST
TOPIC: CONSTANT HEAD METHOD
SAMPLE: SANDY SOIL
MATERIAL USED
(a) Sandy soil
(b) Water tank
(c) Head pan
(d) Measuring cylinder
(e) Wire mesh
(f) Stop watch
(g) Cell glass
(h) Ruler
DATA
T1= 20.10sec T2= 20.41sec T3= 20.45sec H= 64cm
Q1= 334 Q2= 300.2 Q3= 295 L= 13.8cm
CALCULATION
Formula given as QL/A.t.h
Solution
Area = πᴅ²/4 = 3.142*10²/4 = 78.5
K1 = 334*13.8/78.5*20.10*64 = 0.045cm/s
K2 = 300.3*13.8/78.5*20.41*64 = 0.040cm/s
K3 = 295*13.8/78.5*20.41*64 = 0.039cm/s

Average
K = k1+k2+k3/3
K = 0.045+0.040+0.039/3 = 0.098cm/s
TOPIC: FALLING HEAD METHOD
SAMPLE TYPE: CLAY SOIL
MATERIAL USE
(a) Undisturbed material
(b) Stand pipe
(c) Digger
(d) Head pan
(e) Water
(f) Mold
(g) Wire mesh
(h) Robber stopper
(i) Stop watch
(j) Water tank
DATA
T1 = 1:22 T2 = 1:31 T3 = 1:84 L = 13cm
H1 = 99 H1 = 94 H1 = 90 T = 1min
H2 = 95.7 H2 = 91 H2 = 86.7
Solution
Formula given as = 2.3al/At x log10(h1/h2)
Area = πᴅ²/4 = π*10²/4 = 78.5
Area = πᴅ²/4 = π*0.5²/4 = 0.196
K1 = 2.3*0.196*13/78.54*1.22 x log10(99/95.7) = 0.000785
K2 = 2.3*0.196*13/78.54*1.31 x log10(94/91) = 0.000731
K3 = 2.3*0.196*13/78.54*1.84 x log10(90/86.7) = 0.000520
Average = k1+k2+k3/3 = 0.00785+0.000731+0.000520/3 = 0.002036
