For a falling-head permeability test, the following are given:
• Length of the soil specimen= 20 in.
Area of the soil specimen = 4 in.?
Area of the standpipe = 0.2 in.?
Head difference at time t = 0 is 30 in.
Head difference at time t = 10 min is 12 in.
Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the soil (in./min). What was the head difference at
time t = 5 min?
