Field applications of hydraulic conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is one of the hydraulic properties of soil defined as a measurement of the ability of a porous medium to permit water movement or fluid flow through it. It is denoted by the letter K. It is influenced by the density and viscosity of the fluid. It is also called permeability. Hydraulic conductivity is defined as the ratio of velocity to the hydraulic gradient. The different methods used to determine the hydraulic conductivity are laboratory methods (constant head permeability tests and falling head tests), in-situ field methods (pumping in and pumping out tests), small scale field tests (infiltration tests and slug tests), and indirect methods such as estimation from grain size, consolidation test data, and horizontal capillary test. The pedotransfer function (PTF) method is a specific empirical estimating approach employed in the soil sciences is also used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the soil.

A compaction mould has the empty mass of 5000 g and the volume of 945 ml. When the compaction mould is full of the completely dry sand in its loosest state, the total mass is 6500 g and when it is full of the completely dry sand in its densest state, the total mass is 7245 g. If the water content of the sand when it is fully saturated at its natural state is 23%, calculate the relative density of the sand. (Assume that G,-2.70.)
