Estimating of geotechnical properties of clay soil with dynamic cone penetration (DCP) test
Dynamic cone penetration (DCP) test is used more in pavement design and construction, and less for subsurface geotechnical investigation and clay core dam. In the present article, evaluating geotechnical parameters of Sanandaj’s clay in the western region of Iran using the DCP test was taken into account. Accordingly, 6 trial pits with maximum depths of 15 m were excavated manually in various s...
متن کاملInfluence of Sample Size on Measurement of Soil Denitrification
The influence of sample size on the magnitude and variability of soil denitrification was studied by collecting soil cores, ranging in size from 1.7 to 5.4 cm in diameter, from no-till and conventionaltill corn plots. Estimates of natural denitrification rates were obtained by incubating intact soil cores with C2H2 and monitoring gaseous N2O production. In addition, maximum denitrification pote...
متن کاملInfluence of Sample Size on Chemical and Physical Soil Measurements
Understanding the distribution of soil properties with respect to sample size is essential for designing efficient soil sampling strategies. This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of the size of soil samples on the distribution of estimated soil physical (bulk density and water content), chemical (pH and orthophosphate P), and biological (NO3-N and denitrification rates) properties....
متن کاملEstimating Pareto Tail Index Based on Sample Means
• We propose an estimator of the Pareto tail index m of a distribution, that competes well with the Hill, Pickands and moment estimators. Unlike the above estimators, that are based only on the extreme observations, the proposed estimator uses all observations; its idea rests in the tail behavior of the sample mean X̄n, having a simple structure under heavy-tailed F . The observations, partition...
متن کاملDetermining the sample size required to compare vegetation and soil characteristics in two independent groups using effect size
Extended Abstract Background and objectives: One of the important steps in assessing rangeland vegetation is determining the sample size. Adequacy of sample size and its determination is always one of the main concerns of rangeland vegetation analyzer. There are two general methods for determining the sample size in rangeland science: graphic and statistical methods. In this study, the sample...
