A falling head hydraulic conductivity test is performed on a sample of soil. The stand pipe having a diameter of 0.20cm is observed and it takes 60 seconds for the water to drop by 50 cm from an initial hydraulic head of 90cm. The sample has a length of 20cm, and a diameter of 4cm. a.Find the coefficient of permeability (cm/sec) b.Solve for the hydraulic gradient c. Compute the rate of flow of water in the soil.

Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.
