In a falling head permeability test, the following data was obtained: diameter of standpipe = 1.5 cm; diameter of sample = 10.16 cm; height of water level at beginning of test (h1) = 30 cm; length of sample (L) = 20 cm. The soil had a coefficient of permeability (k) equal to 3.4 x 10°cm/sec. If the test was conducted for a period of 8 hours, what was the water level at the end of the test (h2)? %3D Time when water level is at h, is t, (t,) a = area of standpipe Time when level is at 19% h, is t2 (t2) A = cross-sectional area of soil sample Soil sample
Consider that a 58.7 gram sample of dry soil is used in making a mechanical analysis by using the hydrometer method. The laboratory was held at a constant temperature of 20 C (68 F). The 40 s hydrometer reading was found to be 32.5 and the 8 hr hydrometer reading was 15.5. The percentage of sand in this soil sample is (note, a 58.7 gram sample is used here): Your Answer: Answer units
