Development Of A Hydraulic Conductivity Placement Window Using Centrifuge Techniques, Greg Thomas
Development Of A Hydraulic Conductivity Placement Window Using Centrifuge Techniques, Greg Thomas
Civil Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
A centrifuge soil testing device, currently operated by researchers at the University of Arkansas, was used to develop a technique to determine a hydraulic conductivity placement window. The purpose of this research was to develop a placement window by means of a centrifuge instead of by means of a panel board. Soil specimens were created at standard PRcotor energy and at 50 percent of Standard Proctor energy at -3 percent of optimum, -1.5 percent of optimum, two specimens at optimum, +1.5 percent of optimum, and +3 percent of optimum water content. Values of hydraulic conductivity for the respective specimens were …
