Design Constant Head Permeability Meter Digital: A Project-Based Learning Media

Virma Septiani — 2024-07-04

The permeability coefficient value is one of the most important parameters in soil mechanics. Quick, simple, and digital direct soil permeability tests in the field are needed to obtain data representing conditions. This research aims to create a portable soil permeability test tool based on microcontroller automation used as a project-based learning for Transportation Cadets peculiarly Palembang Aviation Polytechnic Cadets for new experiences of new learning circumstances. This research method based on the principle of permeability testing using the constant-head method by analyzing the requirements quantitatively. This principle uses water change level parameters, which are used to test the infiltration rate in sample soil. Furthermore, measurements of changes in water level are used by water leveling sensors and processed using Arduino Uno based on fuzzy logic with access to results via the web, tool design, and simulation using SIMULINK software. The results of designing a digital measuring instrument for permeability using the constant head method have been validated for its schematic circuit using SIMULINK and can work without error. In conclusion, a model based on Darcy's Law equation and constant head to find the permeability coefficient can be generated, which can then be a prototype of the tool. It concluded the design of constant head permeability meter digital is useful as project-based leaning media for the Palembang aviation polytechnic. Furthermore, the equipment design will be the first digital measuring tool for permeability coefficient using the constant head method. The design has advantage to measure the soil permeability coefficient at the airport in the fastest way.
