1、Designation: D 5852 00 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Test Method forErodibility Determination of Soil in the Field or in theLaboratory by the Jet Index Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5852; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adopti

2、on or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the estimation of erodibility ofa soil by a jet i

3、ndex method. This test method involves eitherpreparing a field site or obtaining a relatively undisturbed soilsample and the subsequent activities for the determination ofthe erodibility of soil. This test method also may be run oncompacted samples in the laboratory.1.2 The values stated in SI units

4、 are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health pract

8、o Terminology D 653.4. Significance and Use4.1 Water flow in nature exerts a force on soils that resultsin erosion. Erosion potential of a soil is of concern in vegetatedchannels, road embankments, dams, levees, spillways, con-struction sites, etc. The jet index method is intended to providea standa

9、rd method of expressing erosion resistance; to assistthose who work with different soils and soil conditions tomeasure erosion resistance for design purposes; and to providea common system of characterizing soil properties to developperformance and prediction relationships.4.2 The jet index test is

10、not suited for determining erodibil-ity of soils that have structure characteristics larger than thescale of the jet testing device. For example, the erodibility ofsoil that has a dominant soil structure of 7 to 8 cm or larger(that is, aggregate, clod, or particle size), that might play a keyrole in

11、 the detachment process, should not be estimated withthe jet index test. Care should be taken that the test sample andtest are representative of expected conditions at the site underinvestigation. If it is known in advance that the soil will besaturated prior to an erosion event, then the soil shoul

12、d betested in that condition. At present, the effects of waterchemistry on detachment rate are unknown. Therefore, waterquality during testing should be simulated as close as possibleto the water quality anticipated during actual erosion.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard is d

13、ependupon the competence of the personnel performing it, and the suitability ofthe equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria ofPractice D 3740 are generally considered capable of competent andobjective testing and sampling. Users of this standard are cautioned thatcompliance wit

Procedure6.1 Field Testing:6.1.1 Prepare

34、the surface at the test location so that it isreasonably level and void of vegetation. When the site is readyfor testing, push the base ring into the soil. This may requirethe use of a sledgehammer, impacting on a wood cushion (suchas a two by four) to protect the base ring from damage. Thebase ring

35、 should then be checked to make sure it is relativelylevel.6.1.2 Set the backwater tank in place over the base ring andlatch down. Place the cylindrical liner on the leveling bolts ofthe backwater tank and level. Use the pin profiler to determinethe pre-testing soil elevation. Pre-set the head on th

36、e jet deviceso that only minor nozzle adjustments are necessary at thebeginning of the test. Do this by placing it in a 5 gal (about 19L) bucket near the same elevation as the backwater tank andmake necessary adjustments to the head differential on thenozzle. Although other head settings may be used

37、, the recom-mended head setting on the jet is 0.91 m (36 in.). Remove thepin profiler and backfill the tank with water. Place the jetapparatus on the backwater tank cylindrical liner. Hold a flat 10to 13 cm diameter disk approximately 3 cm from the nozzleoutlet and make final adjustments to the head

38、. The flat diskprevents discharge from the nozzle from impinging directly onthe sample prior to testing. Remove the disk from the discharg-ing jet to initiate testing.Atiming sequence of 600, 1200, 1800,and 3600 s intervals is recommended for a total testing time of7200 s. Other timing sequences are

39、 at the discretion of the user.A pin profile of the surface of the tested soil sample shall betaken after each time sequence (see Fig. 3). Following testing,equipment clean up is essential.6.1.3 Before testing, the inner cylinder should be made leveland the nozzle jet height should be set at 0.22 m

40、above thesurface of the soil sample. Before testing begins, the fluid headon the jet should be set close to 0.91 m so that only minoradjustments are necessary at start up of testing.6.2 Laboratory Testing:6.2.1 Pre-set the head on the jet device. Load the sampleinto the lower tank and slide the samp

41、le under the upper tank.Pressurize the sealing tube between the upper and lowercylinders of the testing apparatus.6.2.2 Use the pin profiler to determine the pretesting soilelevation. Remove the pin profiler and backfill the tank withwater. Place the jet apparatus on the backwater tank cylindricalli

42、ner. Hold a flat 10 to 13 cm diameter disk approximately 3 cmfrom the nozzle outlet and make final adjustments to the head.The flat disk prevents discharge from the nozzle from imping-ing directly on the sample prior to testing. Remove the diskfrom the discharging jet to initiate testing. A test tim

43、ingsequence of 600, 1200, 1800, and 3600 s intervals is recom-mended for a total testing time of 7200 s. Other timingsequences are at the discretion of the user. A pin profile of thesurface of the tested soil sample shall be taken after each timesequence. Following testing, equipment clean up is ess

Before testing begins, the fluid headon the jet should be set close to 0.91 m so tha

Calculation7.1 Calculate the velocity of the jet at the nozzle:Uo5 C=2gh (1)where:Uo= velocity of the jet at the nozzle (cm/s),g = acceleration due to gravity (981 cm/s2),h = head on the jet (cm), andC = nozzle coefficient.A rounded noz

46、zle is used in this apparatus (see the detailedplans). Therefore, a nozzle coefficient of one may be assumed.7.2 Determine the maximum depth of scour for each timeinterval (see Fig. 3):D 5(li(p 5 1517Rpt2 Rp0!n(2)where:Ds= average maximum depth of scour determined fromprofile pins 15, 16, and 17 for

The slope of theline, passing through zero, created by a least squares fit of thedata is the jet index (see Fig. 5). If the sample sc

Based on experience,typical values of the jet index range from 0 to 0.03 with a valueof 0.001, 0.01, and 0.02 indicating high resistance, moderateresistance, and low resistance to erosion, respectively.37.4 The jet index is an erosion performance index. If anestimate of the erodibility is desired, further calculations arerequired. Typically, erosion in an open channel is expressed a
