• Limitations of this research:
I have collected soil samples for my tests 1: oven test (to determine moisture content of the organic soil) and 2: Bunsen burner test (to determine to the amount of organic matter in organic soil). The samples are collected from 8 locations from Swansea Area (Wales), hence the results may not consistent in general.
Any sample of soil being taken from the ground, transferred to the laboratory, and prepared for testing will be subject to disturbance soil, thus the soil may lose (its originality)
1: Changes in stress conditions
2: mechanical deformation
3: changes in water content and voids ratio
Whereas testing the soil on the site have some differences. (Would be nice to explain very short ‘why is different’)
• Add any appropriate table of typical value, for example
Tables to show the difference properties of organic soil with other type of soil. (Relevant to settlement factors)
• Tests Results
1- Moisture Content of organic soil (Oven Test)
2- Determination of Organic Matter Content by heat the soil (Bunsen burner)
3- Compressibility characteristics of organic soil (Odometer Test)
Note:
Test 1 and 2 has been done by myself and I will send you the excel file.
Link below shows the procedure of these 2 tests I have done in the lab.
For Oedometer test (compressibility test of organic soil) use the tests results from previous researches. You can find it online.
Plot graphs for each test, for instance,
Moisture content versus organic soil
Organic matter versus organic soil and etc.
Explain the relationship between moisture content, organic matter in organic soil and compressibility of the soil in respect to settlement.
• Calculate the primary and secondary settlement of organic soil over short and long term under embankment (train and embankment are the loads on soil). I will send my files to help you with this part. (I need the copy of your way of calculation to provide to my supervisor).
• Software analysis
I am currently working on software analysis called LUSAS to analyse the settlement, once I complete the work I will send them to you. For this part you need to include the graphs which I will give you and explain the data and graphs.
Describe the difference between plain strain and plain stress. The reason is that I have chosen plain strain analysis for my work, which means the applied load ( train and embankment) will cause movement on the sub-surface.( when the object moves due to applied force, considered plain strain, if does not move considered as plain stress).
• Solution to this settlement (choice of technique)
Write about current and favourite methods from engineering aspects (briefly about advantages and disadvantages), and then introduce new method which is geotextile method for improving the settlement.
There are different type of raw materials use in geotextile method, choose 1 and
Usage of Geotextile Method to improve the stability of soil in regards to soil settlement.
There are various type of raw materials of geotextile. Decide which one would be ideal in terms of its properties to use for the settlement. (Table of basic properties of geotextile).
Explain how this method works. (Procedure) including some photos.
Important:
Before start writing please consider:
Why are we doing this research? for example you could say to Improve the precision and establish reproducibility!!
