In falling head permeability test the initial head was 350 mm and the final head was 60 mm. The cross-sectional area of the burette was 200 mm2. The sample was 50 mm in diameter and 105 mm long. If the test took 8 hours and 30 minutes, what was the coefficient of permeability of the soil in m/s?
A sample of moist sand was cut out of a natural deposit by means of a sampling cylinder. The volume of the cylinder was 478 ml; the weight of the sample alone was 884 grams and 830 grams after drying. The volume of the dried sample, when rammed tight into a graduated cylinder, was 418 ml and its volume, when poured loosely into the same cylinder, was 616 ml. if the particle specific gravity was 2.67, compute the density index and the degree of saturation of the deposit.
Consider that a 58.7 gram sample of dry soil is used in making a mechanical analysis by using the hydrometer method. The laboratory was held at a constant temperature of 20 C (68 F).
