A test setup is shown. A cylindrical mold of 4 inches in diameter is filled to a height H1 = 0.2 ft., with silt whose coefficient of permeability K1 = 3.8 x 10 3 ft/min. A second coaxial mold is placed on the top of the first mold whose inside diameter is d = 1.5 inches and whose height is 0.30 ft. Its Thickness is negligible. The inside of this second mold is filled with the same silt, but the annular ring outside the small tube and the outer tube is filled with sand whose coefficient of permeability is K2 = 7.5 x 10-4 ft/min. The test set up is a permeability of constant head. Water is placed in the mold and maintained at a level h = 1.5 ft. above the level of the %3D outlet. It maybe considered that altogether, the system consists of a fictitious soil of thickness H= H1 + H2 = 0.5 and the coefficient of permeability Kf.
