In a constant head permeability test, a soil sample is compacted into a round PVC pipe and placed into a tank as shown. After sufficient time is allowed for saturation of the soil, the test is conducted under standard temperature pressure conditions for 4 hours. A total of 227 g of water is decanted into a measuring vessel during the test. What is the coefficient of permeability of the soil?

Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.
