Determination of Field Density Using Sand Cone Method | Jameel AcademyJameel Academy
The document describes a soil mechanics lab report on determining field density using the sand cone method. The test procedure involves digging a hole, placing the excavated soil in an airtight bag, then using a sand cone apparatus to pour sand into the hole to determine the hole's volume. Calculations are shown to find the field dry unit weight, water content, and relative density compared to the maximum dry unit weight from a lab compaction test. The results found a field dry unit weight of 1.4149 g/cm3 and relative density of 72%, indicating the field compaction was not adequate for the project.
The document discusses laboratory soil compaction tests. It defines compaction as increasing the bulk density of soil by removing air through external compactive effort. An optimum water content exists where soil achieves maximum density. The document outlines standard and modified Proctor compaction tests and describes how to conduct the tests by compacting soil in layers using specified hammers and measuring dry density at different water contents. Compaction increases soil strength, stability and resistance to erosion while decreasing permeability and compressibility.

The document describes procedures for determining soil density through a sand replacement test. The test involves first calibrating the test apparatus by measuring the volume and mass of sand poured into a cylindrical container to determine the density of the sand. Then, a hole is excavated in the soil and the mass of excavated soil is measured. Sand is poured into the hole until full, and its mass is measured before and after to calculate the volume of the hole. Using the known densities of the sand and mass of excavated soil, the density of the soil can be determined. Key measurements include mass, volume, and density of both sand and soil samples.
(1) The sand replacement method is used to determine the field density of soil containing coarse particles like gravel or stones, where the core cutter method is not suitable. (2) The method involves excavating a hole in the compacted soil and measuring the volume of the hole by filling it with calibrated sand. (3) The density of the in-situ soil is then calculated as the weight of the excavated soil divided by the volume of the hole determined through filling it with the calibrated sand.
This document summarizes a standard Proctor compaction test conducted on a soil sample. The test involves compacting the soil at different moisture contents in layers using a standardized hammer and measuring the dry unit weight. The maximum dry unit weight of 1.74 g/cm3 was found at an optimum moisture content of 13.7% based on the graph, however one data point exceeded the theoretical zero-air void curve, invalidating the test. The test will need to be redone to get accurate and dependable results.
The document describes procedures for determining the liquid limit and plastic limit of soil samples. The liquid limit test involves adding water to soil and determining the moisture content at which a groove closes after 25 blows. The plastic limit is the moisture content at which a soil ball crumbles after rolling out to 3mm diameter. These limits are used to classify soils and predict properties like strength and compressibility. The plasticity index, defined as the liquid limit minus the plastic limit, provides further information on soil type and reactivity. Proper determination of the Atterberg limits is important for building foundations to ensure suitable shear strength and volume change with moisture fluctuations.
Class 5 Permeability Test ( Geotechnical Engineering )Hossam Shafiq I
This document discusses permeability testing methods for geotechnical engineering laboratory class. It describes two common permeability test methods: the constant-head test and falling-head test. The constant-head test applies a constant head of water to a soil specimen in a permeameter to measure hydraulic conductivity. The falling-head test similarly uses a permeameter but measures the change in head over time. Both tests aim to determine the hydraulic conductivity value k, which indicates a soil's ability to transmit water and is important for analyzing seepage, settlement, and slope stability.

Determination grain size distribution of soilSumanHaldar8
This document describes procedures for determining the grain size distribution of soils through sieve analysis and sedimentation tests. It explains that soils can be classified as coarse-grained if particles are larger than 75 micrometers, and fine-grained if smaller.

The unconfined compression test is a type of unconsolidated-undrained test used for clay specimens. It involves compressing a cylindrical clay sample axially without lateral confinement. The major principal stress is the axial stress, while the minor principal stresses are zero. This allows measuring the unconfined compressive strength, sensitivity, shear strength parameters, and cohesion of cohesive soils. The test procedure involves extruding and trimming a soil specimen, measuring it, and compressing it at a controlled strain rate between loading plates while recording the load and stress. Parameters are calculated based on the failure load and specimen dimensions.

Geotechnical Engineering - Year 3 Lab Report.pdfIgnatius Shiundu
This document provides details of laboratory experiments conducted to determine various properties of soil, including:
1. The dry density of soil in situ using the sand replacement method. Testing yielded a dry density of 1.79 g/cm3.
2. The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of soil through dynamic compaction, which were determined to be 1.85 g/cm3 and 11% respectively.
3. Particle size distribution through a hydrometer analysis, with procedures and apparatus described.
This document discusses various index properties of soil and methods for determining them. It describes determining the specific gravity of soil through different methods like the pycnometer bottle method. It also discusses determining the in-situ dry density of soil using a core cutter and discusses particle size analysis through sieve analysis and sedimentation analysis. The document also describes determining the consistency limits of fine-grained soils, including the liquid limit and plastic limit tests. It defines the relative density of soils and provides categories of soil denseness based on relative density percentages.
This document describes several methods for determining the water content of soils in a soil mechanics laboratory experiment. The most accurate method is the oven-dry method, which involves weighing a moist soil sample, drying it in an oven at 105-110°C, and then reweighing to find the lost water weight. The pycnometer method is a quicker alternative that can be used when the soil's specific gravity is known. It involves filling a flask containing a moist soil sample with water to displace the air, then calculating the water content based on the change in weight and soil specific gravity. Up to seven different tests are described for measuring water content, with the oven-dry, calcium carbide, and pycnometer methods generally
This document summarizes the liquid limit and plastic limit tests conducted on a soil sample. The liquid limit was found to be 51.679% using two different methods that produced similar results. The plastic limit was 24.525%. Based on these Atterberg limits, the soil was classified as clay with high plasticity. The limits help characterize the soil's engineering properties and behavior when wet or dry. The experiment showed the soil behaves plastically when wet and becomes hard when dry, typical of clays.
This document provides procedures for determining various properties of aggregates through laboratory experiments. It describes 15 experiments related to aggregate testing, including procedures to determine grain size distribution, bulk density, crushing value, impact value, and others. The grain size distribution experiment involves sieving samples of fine and coarse aggregates and calculating parameters like effective size and uniformity coefficient. The crushing value and impact value experiments involve compressing aggregate samples and measuring the amount of particles that break off to determine the aggregates' resistance to impact and crushing forces.
Soil compaction involves mechanically densifying soil to remove air voids. This increases soil strength, reduces settlement and permeability, and lessens frost damage and erosion. Compaction expels air from soil pores, while consolidation extrudes water. Factors affecting compaction are moisture content, compaction effort (energy applied), and soil type. Optimum moisture content produces maximum density. Higher compaction effort yields greater densities. Coarser, less clayey soils compact best. Field methods to check compaction include the sand replacement, rubber balloon, nuclear gauge, and core cutter tests.
This document provides instructions and results for several experiments analyzing soil properties:
1. Grain size distribution was analyzed using sieve analysis, finding the soil to be well graded with a uniformity coefficient of 11.52 and curvature coefficient of 1.12.
2. Oven drying and core cutter methods determined the moisture content, bulk unit weight, and dry unit weight of soil samples. Average moisture content was 23.05%, bulk density was 1.774 g/cm3, and dry density was 1.593 g/cm3.
3. Additional experiments analyzed liquid limit, plastic limit, and replaced sand to determine in-field densities, finding bulk density of 1.415 g/cm3 and
Similar to Field density method (sand replacing method) (20)
The standard penetration test (SPT) involves driving a split spoon sampler into the ground using a 140 lb hammer dropped 30 inches. The number of blows required to penetrate each 6 inch interval is recorded, and the penetration resistance value N is the sum of the blows over the second and third intervals. This test is commonly used to obtain bearing capacity and estimate soil properties like density and shear strength. It is performed whenever the soil stratum changes and at intervals of no more than 1.5 meters.
The document describes the standard Proctor compaction test procedure. The test is used to determine the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of soils. It involves compacting soil samples at incrementally increased moisture contents using a specified compaction method. A compaction curve is plotted showing the relationship between dry density and moisture content. The peak of the curve indicates the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density achieved for that soil. The test uses a cylindrical metal mold, rammer, balance, oven and other equipment to compact and analyze the soil samples according to steps that sieve, mix, compact and weigh the soil at different moistures.
The natural moisture content, also called the natural water content, is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of solids in a mass of soil, usually expressed as a percentage. To determine this, a soil sample is weighed, dried in an oven between 105-110 degrees C for 16-24 hours, then weighed again. The loss in weight is the moisture evaporated and the natural moisture content can be calculated from the weights. Certain soils like peat or those containing gypsum require lower drying temperatures or longer drying times.

Soil properties include color, texture, humus, and structure. Color is influenced by mineral content, organic matter, iron, and moisture. It can provide insights into the soil environment. Common colors like white, red, brown, and black indicate different compositions. Texture refers to particle size of sand, silt, and clay. Soil structures include blocky, platy, massive, prismatic, and granular forms. Humus is dark organic matter that provides nutrients and helps retain water. It influences soil color, with higher humus resulting in darker colors.

The Development Of Self |Psychology | Presentation | By: Faizan TanoliFaizan Tanoli
This document discusses the development of self from infancy through adulthood. It notes that infants begin to develop a basic sense of self around 8 months when they experience separation distress from caregivers. Between 18-24 months, most children can recognize their reflection in a mirror. During the preschool years, children understand themselves based on observable traits, but have unrealistically positive self-evaluations. Through school-age and adolescence, the self-concept becomes more complex and integrated as abstract thinking develops, though adolescents may be preoccupied with how others see them. By late adolescence/early adulthood, the conception of self is usually more coherent and internally defined.

Complement Activation Pathways: Key Mechanisms in Immune Defensedeepsarao2001
The complement system is a key part of the immune response, made up of proteins that eliminate pathogens. It is activated through three main pathways:
Classical Pathway: Triggered by antibodies bound to antigens on a pathogen's surface.
Lectin Pathway: Initiated by mannose-binding lectin binding to sugars on pathogens.
Alternative Pathway: Activated spontaneously on pathogen surfaces without antibodies.
All pathways converge to form C3 convertase, leading to the destruction of pathogens by marking them for immune attack and creating pores in their membranes. This process enhances the body's ability to fight infections quickly and effectively.
The use of probiotics and antibiotics in aquaculture production.pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing agriculture sectors in the world, providing food and nutritional security to millions of people. However, disease outbreaks are a constraint to aquaculture production, thereby affecting the socio-economic status of people in many countries. Due to intensive farming practices, infectious diseases are a major problem in finfish and shellfish aquaculture, causing heavy loss to farmers (Austin & Sharifuzzaman, 2022). For instance Bacterial fish diseases are responsible for a huge annual loss estimated at USD 6 billion in 2014, and this figure has increased to 9.58 in 2020 globally.
Disease control in the aquaculture industry has been achieved using various methods, including traditional means, synthetic chemicals and antibiotics. In the 1970s and 1980s oxolinic acid, oxytetracycline (OTC), furazolidone, potential sulphonamides (sulphadiazine and trimethoprim) and amoxicillin were the most commonly used antibiotics in fish farming (Amenyogbe et al., 2020). However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in disease control has led to selective pressure of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, a property that may be readily transferred to other bacteria (Bondad‐Reantaso et al., 2023a). Traditional methods are ineffective against controlling new disease in large aquaculture systems. Therefore, alternative methods need to be developed to maintain a healthy microbial environment in aquaculture systems, thereby maintaining the health of the cultured organisms.

Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

CYTOCHROME P-450 BASED DRUG INTERACTION.pptxPRAMESHPANWAR1
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are a large family of heme-containing enzymes found primarily in the liver. They play a critical role in the metabolism of a wide variety of substances, including drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds such as hormones and fatty acids. The name "P450" comes from the absorption peak at 450 nm when the enzyme is bound to carbon monoxide. These enzymes facilitate oxidation reactions, which often make substances more water-soluble and easier to excrete from the body.
CYP enzymes are involved in numerous drug interactions due to their ability to metabolize medications. These interactions can lead to altered drug levels, resulting in either reduced efficacy or increased toxicity. Key CYP enzymes include CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2, each responsible for the metabolism of different drugs.
But in this slide share, we only study the drug interaction of the cytochrome P450 enzyme.
Understanding the function and interactions of CYP enzymes is essential in pharmacology to ensure safe and effective drug therapy.
It also includes the mechanisms of drug interaction, i.e., enzyme inhibition and enzyme induction, with proper examples and explained in easy language.
I hope you find it useful.
