1. A sand sample of 35 cm² cross sectional area and 20 cm long was tested in a constant head permeameter. Under a head of 60 cm, the discharge was 120 mL in 6 min. The dry weight of sand used for the test was 1120 g, and G₁ = 2.68. Determine (a) the hydraulic conductivity in cm/sec, (b) the discharge velocity, and (c) the seepage velocity.
A falling-head permeability test was run on a soil sample 9.6 cm in diameter and 10 cm long. The head at the start of the test was 90 cm. The coefficient of permeability of the soil was found to be 5x10 cm/s. The diameter of the stand pipe was 1 cm. Determine how much head was lost during the first 33 mins. 82.84 7.16 6.88 O 83.12
A permeameter of 8.2cm diameter contains a sample of soil of lemgth 35cm. It can be used either for constant head or falling head tests. The standpipe used for the latter has a diameter of 2.5cm. In the constant head test the loss of head was 116cm measured on a length of 25cm when the rate of flow was 2.73ml/s. If a falling head test were then made on the same soil, how kuch time in seconds would be taken for the head to fall from 150 to 100cm?
For a constant head laboratory permeability test on a fine sand, the following are given:Length of specimen = 250 mmDia. of specimen = 62.5 mmHead difference = 450 mmWater collected in 2 min. = 484 cu.mmDetermine the discharge velocity in mm/sec.

In a constant-head permeability test, a 60 cm3 of water was collected in 25 seconds with a head difference of “H” cm in a soil sample that has a diameter of 8 cm and length of 12 cm. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity. If the sample has a porosity of 60%, determine the average velocity and seepage velocity. Estimate the coefficient of permeability of a soil similar to the sample with a porosity of 45% from the results of this test.
