b. Why is the moisture content multiplied by an adjustment factor to derive the Liquid Limit
Water flows through a sand filter. The soil mass's cross-sectional area and length are 2900 cm² and 1.65 cm, respectively. The coefficient of permeability of the sand filter is 0.0034 cm/s and the head difference between the inflow and outflow is 0.35 cm. Required Determine the flow rate of of water through the sand in L/min, to the nearest 1000th. Your Answer:
the water main in the cities must be placed at sufficient depth below the earth’s surface to avoid freezing during extended periods of subfreezing temperatures. determine the minimum depth at which the water main must be placed at a location where the soil is initially at 15°c and the earth’s surface temperature under the worst conditions is expected to remain at 10°c for a period of 75 days. take the properties of soil at that location to be k =0.7 w/m · °c and α=1.4 x 10-5 m2 /s.
