Field applications of hydraulic conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is one of the hydraulic properties of soil defined as a measurement of the ability of a porous medium to permit water movement or fluid flow through it. It is denoted by the letter K. It is influenced by the density and viscosity of the fluid. It is also called permeability. Hydraulic conductivity is defined as the ratio of velocity to the hydraulic gradient. The different methods used to determine the hydraulic conductivity are laboratory methods (constant head permeability tests and falling head tests), in-situ field methods (pumping in and pumping out tests), small scale field tests (infiltration tests and slug tests), and indirect methods such as estimation from grain size, consolidation test data, and horizontal capillary test. The pedotransfer function (PTF) method is a specific empirical estimating approach employed in the soil sciences is also used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the soil.

Question

### Sieve Analysis for Sand Filter Media

**Objective:** Determine the effective size (d10, in mm) and the uniformity coefficient (UC) for the sand filter media characterized by the sieve analysis results.

#### Sieve Analysis Results:

| Sieve Opening Size (mm) | % Weight Passing |
|-------------------------|------------------|
| 1.41 | 100 |
| 1.19 | 100 |
| 1.00 | 94 |
| 0.84 | 83 |
| 0.71 | 63 |
| 0.59 | 35 |
| 0.50 | 18 |
| 0.42 | 11 |
| 0.35 | 8 |
| 0.30 | 0 |

#### Explanation:

- **Sieve Opening Size:** Represents the size of the openings in each sieve, measured in millimeters.
- **% Weight Passing:** Indicates the percentage of the total sample weight that passes through each sieve, providing insight into the distribution of particle sizes within the sand filter media.

The analysis provides data necessary to evaluate the grain size distribution, which is crucial in determining the effectiveness and uniformity of filtration in sand-based systems. The effective size (d10) and uniformity coefficient (UC) are key parameters derived from this information.

The lab methods discussed in class are not the only means of measuring specific gravity- one can also measure the volume of water displaced directly. Suppose you have a sample of sand that displaces 251 cm³ in the SSD state. The sample has an SSD weight of 618 g and an oven dry weight of 599 g. Calculate the bulk specific gravity (SSD), bulk specific gravity, apparent specific gravity, and absorption (dry) of the material.
