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.
