  2. Percolation test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_test

    A percolation test consists of digging one or more holes in the soil of the proposed leach field to a specified depth, presoaking the holes by maintaining a high water level in the holes, then running the test by filling the holes to a specific level and timing the drop of the water level as the water percolates into the surrounding soil.

  3. Base-cation saturation ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base-cation_saturation_ratio

    Base-cation saturation ratio (BCSR) is a method of interpreting soil test results that is widely used in sustainable agriculture, supported by the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service (ATTRA) [1] and claimed to be successfully in use on over a million acres (4,000 km 2) of farmland worldwide.

  4. Soil test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_test

    A soil test is a laboratory or in-situ analysis to determine the chemical, physical or biological characteristics of a soil. Possibly the most widely conducted soil tests are those performed to estimate the plant-available concentrations of nutrients in order to provide fertilizer recommendations in agriculture.

  5. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    Additionally, the method cannot collect accurate data for weak soil layers for several reasons: The results are limited to whole numbers for a specific driving interval, but with very low blow counts, the granularity of the results, and the possibility of a zero result, makes handling the data cumbersome. [5]

  6. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    One common tool advanced during CPT testing is a geophone set to gather seismic shear wave and compression wave velocities. This data helps determine the shear modulus and Poisson's ratio at intervals through the soil column for soil liquefaction analysis and low-strain soil strength analysis. Engineers use the shear wave velocity and shear ...

  7. Soil gradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Gradation

    Soil gradation is determined by analyzing the results of a sieve analysis or a hydrometer analysis. [4] [5] In a sieve analysis, a coarse-grained soil sample is shaken through a series of woven-wire square-mesh sieves. Each sieve has successively smaller openings so particles larger than the size of each sieve are retained on the sieve.

  8. Sodium adsorption ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_adsorption_ratio

    The sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) is an irrigation water quality parameter used in the management of sodium-affected soils.It is an indicator of the suitability of water for use in agricultural irrigation, as determined from the concentrations of the main alkaline and earth alkaline cations present in the water.

  9. Oedometer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedometer_test

    During that time, the testing methods and apparatuses for consolidation testing were improved. [5] Casagrande's contributions to the technique of oedometer testing includes the "Casagrande method" to estimate the pre-consolidation pressure of a natural soil sample. [6] Research was continued at MIT in the 1940s by Donald Taylor. [7]
