Variation of index properties of a soil profile with depth - Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, main campus Department: Civil Engineering By: Mzeeg6164 Project ID: 4809 Rating: (3.3) votes: 6Rate this project12345 Price:₦1000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractSoil samples collected from a trial pit at depth 0.5m, 1.0m, and 1.5m, were studied to determine its index properties. Testing including sieve analysis, specific gravity, Atterberg limit, compaction test, CBR test, natural moisture content was conducted for the samples. It was observed that the liquid limit for the point B location decreased from 26.1% at depth 0.5m to 21.14% at depth 1.5m. The plastic limit also varied from 9.8% at depth 0.5m to 14.0% at depth 1.5m for the point B location. The maximum CBR value for Point B was 88% at 0.5m, 83% at 1.0m, and 89% at 1.5m while point A 1.5m was 83%. The soil for point B was classified A– 6 (1.1) at 0.5m, A-4 (1.6) at 1.0m and A-2-4 (0). Point A 1.5m was also classified as A-2-4 (0). The soil profiles studied point A 1.5m and point B 1.5m composed of silty or clayey gravel and sand, point B 0.5 composed of clayey soil, and 1.0m composed of silty soil...Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
