within the effective-field theory with correlations (eft), a transverse random field spin-1 ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied. the phase diagrams, the behavior of critical points, transverse magnetization,  internal energy, magnetic specific heat are obtained numerically and discussed for different values of p the concentration of the random transverse field.
