In a constant-head permeability test, the length of
the specimen is 200 mm and the cross sectional
area is 78.5 cm2. If k = 2.1 × 10−2 cm/sec, and a
rate of flow of 130 cm3/min has to be maintained
during the test, what should be the head...
The results of a constant-head permeability test for
a fine sand sample having a diameter of 70 mm
and a length of 140 mm are as follows (refer to
Figure 7.5):• Constant-head difference = 550 mm•
Water collected in 7 min = 450 cm3• Void ratio...
