Hydraulic Flow Characteristics
This DoE aims to:
1) Conduct and Design Experiment that will determine the effect

with chlorine bleach.
3) Discuss the effects of chlorine bleach in the clayey soil. Commented [Office2]: These three learning verbs are
based on the TIP-CE SO d
Input Factors design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze, and
Type of Soil Clayey Soil interpret data, and synthesize information to provide valid
conclusions for investigating complex problems

Moisture content Moisture content is the water content of a soil along with its liquid and Commented [Office4]: Dependent Variables
plastic limits as determined by Test Method D4318, used to express
relative consistency or liquidity index.
Unit Weight Unit Weight also known as specific weight is the total weight if the
soil divided by its total volume.
Void Ratio The value of void ratio depends on the consistence and packing of the
soil. It is directly affected by compaction. Some typical values of void
ratio for different soils are given below only as general guidelines.
Specific Gravity Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density
of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a
substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given
volume.
Degree of Saturation Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the humidity ratio of moist air to
the humidity ratio of saturated moist air at the same temperature and
pressure.
Atterberg’s Limit The Atterberg limits are a basic measure of the critical water contents
of a fine-grained soil: its shrinkage limit, plastic limit, and liquid limit.
Depending on its water content, a soil may appear in one of four
states: solid, semi-solid, plastic and liquid.
Optimum Moisture The Optimum Water Content of soil is the water content at which a
Content maximum dry unit weight can be achieved after a given compaction
effort. A max dry unit weight would have no voids in the soil. If you
 were trying to compact a hard dry soil to make it denser, you might
want to get it wet. The OPT is the water content of the soil in which
you could compact it the most. If there is too much water you would
have too much pore water pressure during compression to compact
any further.
Maximum Dry Unit Maximum Dry Unit weight depends on the packing, compaction, and
Weight humidity condition of the soil. Some typical values of dry unit weight
are given below for different soils. The values correspond to normally
consolidated condition unless otherwise stated.
Design Statistical-
Based Analysis and
Interpretation Commented [Office5]: The team MUST be creative and
critical in thinking possible Statistical-Based Methodologies
Simple Comparison The results from the Moisture Content, Compaction and Atterberg’s that they can applied to their present DoE Project
(one-factor-at-a-time) Limit test will be compared and it will determine the effect of chlorine
bleach in geotechnical properties of clayey soil.
Regression Analysis Statistical method that allows to determine the relationships of values
or outputs for the proportions of chlorine bleach.
