📌 Dispersion Test
The dispersion test is a critical procedure in geotechnical engineering, used to evaluate the susceptibility of soil to erosion and disintegration when exposed to water. This test is essential in infrastructure projects such as dams and earth channels, where soil erosion can lead to the complete failure of the structure.
Why is the Dispersion Test Important?
1️⃣ Helps identify dispersive soils, which are prone to rapid erosion even with slow water flow.
2️⃣ Protects hydraulic structures from internal erosion (piping), which can gradually weaken them.
3️⃣ Provides accurate data to implement appropriate soil stabilization measures and safeguard projects from failure.
Common Types of Dispersion Tests
🔸 Pinhole Test:
Water is passed through a small hole in a compacted soil sample to determine the erosion rate.
🔸 Double Hydrometer Test:
Measures the difference in fine particle percentage between a natural sample and one treated with a dispersing agent.
🔸 Crumb Test:
Observes the behavior of a small piece of soil when placed in water.
