In a silt soil, the D10 size is 0.01 mm. If the effective pore size for estimating capillary rise is taken as1/3 of D10, approximately what height of capillary rise will occur? 180. Why is it expected that the maximum height of capillary rise is greater for fine-grained soils than for coarse- grained soils?

Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.
