In a constant head test, the sample of sand was collected 150 cm3 of water in just two minutes. The diameter is 5.08 centimeters, the length was 10 centimeters, and the head was maintained at 20 cm. 1) Determine the coefficient of permeability (Ans. 3.08 x 10-2 cm/s) 2) Determine the kind of soil (Ans. Coarse Sand) 3) Determine the interstitial velocity if n=0.3 (Ans. 0.21 cm/s)

Laboratory Determination of Hydraulic Conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is the measure of flowability of water inside the soil in the presence of a hydraulic gradient. The hydraulic gradient is defined as the difference in the water heads in the soil, which induces a water motion. In simple terms, a hydraulic gradient is the presence of a potential that induces a flow of water.
