| 要約: | Fractals are a concern new geometry to describe the variety of natural soil
structures. Better understanding for the material properties can be obtained by the
development in fractal geometry. A case study was carried out at the USM,
Engineering Campus in Nibong Tebal, Malaysia to determine the mass fractal
dimension in that area and some relationship that related to the mass fractal dimension
was analyzed. Fifty soil samples were taken at various locations in USM, Engineering
Campus. These soil samples were separated into two categories which are disturbed
area soil samples and undisturbed area soil samples. The particle size distributions of
these samples were analyzed and the mass fractal dimensions of these samples were
determined. Two relationships which related to the mass fractal dimension were carried
out, there were: (i) relationship between mass fractal dimension and the soil properties
and (ii) relationship between mass fractal dimension and land disturbance. Four soil
properties that use in the analysis were moisture content, bulk density, organic content
and clay content. The results for the relationship between mass fractal dimension and
soil properties were good and similar to the theory. From the analysis of the land
disturbance, the mass fractal dimension for the undisturbed area was higher than the
mass fractal dimension for the disturbed area. |
