    The document discusses permeability and flownet in soils. It provides an example of calculating the factor of safety against boiling or piping in soils. Specifically, it shows a flownet diagram with given values of hydraulic head and calculates the factor of safety as 0.225, which is less than the required value of 4, indicating boiling of the soil may occur.
