 METHODOLOGY
• This study will use experimental research design.
According to Sugiyono (2006), experimental
research is a research which has the purpose to
find the cause-effect relationship among
variables in a controlled condition. In
experimental research, researchers deliberately
control and manipulate the conditions which
determine the event in which they are interested,
introduce an intervention and measure the
differences that it makes.
An experiment involves making a change in the
value of one variable – called the independent
variable and observing the effect of that change on
another variable – called the dependent variable
(Louis, 2006). The type of experimental research
design that will be used in this study is true
experimental design. A true experimental design is
thought to be the most accurate type of
experimental research according to Campbell and
Stanley (1963).
True experiment supports or refutes a hypothesis
using statistical analysis. And can also establish
cause and effect relationship between variables.
The results of a true experimental design can be
statistically analyzed and makes it easier to other
researchers.
 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1. To identify the types of soils in Rizal through sieve
analysis.
2. To determine if there is any significant difference
between soils reinforced with fine mesh and soils
without any reinforcement in terms of its shear
strength and shear displacement.
3. To analyze if there’s a significant relationship
between the shear strength and shear displacement
of the soil samples when the fine mesh is placed
horizontal or placed in a 45º inclination on the soil
samples.
 STATISTICAL TREATMENT
1. In assessing in the shear strength of the soils in
Rizal with fine mesh through direct shear test,
the researchers will not use any statistical
treatment.
2. In identifying the types of soil in Rizal, there is
no statistical treatment needed.
 STATISTICAL TREATMENT
3. In determining if there is any significant
difference between soil reinforced with fine
mesh and soils without any reinforcement in
terms of its shear strength and shear
displacement, T-test will be applied.
4. In analyzing if there’s a significant relationship
between the shear strength and shear
displacement of the soil samples when the fine
mesh is placed horizontal or placed in 45°
inclination on the soil sample, correlation will be
applied.
 ACCOMPLISHMENT/PROGRESS
REPORT
• As for collecting soil samples, we haven’t done it
yet, however we already set the list of locations
on where we’re going to collect the soil samples
we needed in each municipalities in Rizal.
• We already contacted DPWH, BRS and DOST
where the testing procedures will be done.
