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.
A 50 mm diameter and 90 mm-long silty clay sample was subjected to a falling head permeameter test using a setup similar to the one shown in Figure 6.4b, where the inner diameter of the standpipe was 3.0 mm. The head dropped from 870 mm to 450 mm in 5 minutes. What is the permeability of the sample?
In a falling head permeability test, the following data was obtained: diameter of standpipe = 1.5 cm; diameter of sample = 10.16 cm; height of water level at beginning of test (h1) = 30 cm; length of sample (L) = 20 cm. The soil had a coefficient of permeability (k) equal to 3.4 x 10°cm/sec. If the test was conducted for a period of 8 hours, what was the water level at the end of the test (h2)? %3D Time when water level is at h, is t, (t,) a = area of standpipe Time when level is at 19% h, is t2 (t2) A = cross-sectional area of soil sample Soil sample

The attached figure shows the soil sample prepared and setup for constant head permeability test. If the permeability of the soil is 4.5 x 10-3 cm/sec, what is the required time to collect 100 ml of outflow water under the steady state condition? 40 cm Soil in the pipe with internal diameter 20 cm Outflow collection 50 cm 40⁰ 90 cm -Datum- 10 cm
35 The data from a falling head test is shown. Diameter of standpipe: 6 cm. Initial Head: 90.97 cm. Duration of test: 17 min. Length of soil sample: 30.68 cm. Diameter of permeameter: 40 cm. If the soil permeability is 0.0089 cm/min, detemine the final head (in cm.) of the permeability test. Round off to two decimal places.
