Korelasi Permeabilitas Berdasarkan Ukuran Butiran Dan Plastisitas Tanah
Research to determine the coefficient of permeability based on effective grain size of sand has been carried out by several researches. Those researches are mainly aimed to develop equation to predict permeability of soils. However, the relationship between permeability and fine fraction has never been specifically considered. This study was performed to find the relationship between the coefficient permeability and soil properties and soil classification related to fine fraction. In addition to that, the suitability of permeability equation to available data is evaluated.
Nearly 100 undisturbed samples were tested for their coefficient of permeability in laboratory. Grain size, hydrometer, and consistency analyses were also performed. The data obtained from the testing soil properties such as the value of k, liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL) plasticity index (PI), percent sand, percent fine, percent silt, and percent clay. The data are than arranged and analyzed for possible correlations.
The analysis shows that the previous equation cannot be used because the soil in this study generally fine grained soil where the similarities existing only suitable for sandy soil. The relationship between coefficient of permeability with independent variables is exponential with a coefficient of determination is very strong. In addition, the linear regression relationship with the clay fraction and effective particle size also has a strong relationship between the variables.
Keys word: coefficient of permeability, evaluating previous equation, fine fraction
