Question

The figure presents stratified soil sample in a tube that is 325 mm × 325 mm in cross-sectional area. Water is applied to create a constant head difference of 450 mm across the sample. Calculate the equivalent permeability (k) in cm sec

The hydraulic conductivities, k, of the soils in the direction of flow through them
are as follows:
Permeability, k (cm/sec)
1.75 x10^-2
2.23 x10^-3
4.5 x10^-4
