Figure.1. Permeability Constands Head Test

Data: 19.5 cm long cylindrical test material. And has a diameter of 7.5 cm and Will be
determined its permeability with the test equipment Constant-head permeability. A
constant pressure height of 85 cm was controlled equally during the test. After 1 minute
of walking test, spilled water on glass size is weighed, weighing 950 grams.
Temperature at test time 20 ° C.

Question :

- Calculate coefficient Permeability of this soil.?????

Figure.2. Artesian Pressure

Layers of clay/loam thick 8 meters, above the sand 4 meters, In the sand soil
layer there is artesis pressure as high as 8 meters. If the clay has a volume weight
is 19.62 kN/M3 and All saturated soil. Sand has volume weight is 18.15 kN/M3.

Question:
- Calculate the effective strength at point P, ???????
- Calculate the ground avoided the danger of floating/heave. ???

5 . Shear strength of soils

Direct shear Test due to decide shear strength of sands who solid. Box Dimention shear
is 250 x 250 mm2
Test of Results:
Normal loading (kN 6 ,12 , 13.25
Maximum loading shear (kN) 5.9 ,9.8 , 11
Residu Loading Shear(kN) 4.04 ,6.23 ,6.86

maximum

Question:

- Calculate the shear strength when solid and unsolid condition ?

- Calculate angle of shear ?
