In A Constant Head Permeability Test in The Laboratory

A constant head permeability test was performed on a soil specimen that was 25cm long and had a cross-sectional area of 105cm^2. Given the hydraulic conductivity of 0.014 cm/sec and a flow rate of 120 cm^3/min, the summary asks to determine: the head difference across the specimen, the discharge velocity under test conditions, and the seepage velocity if porosity is 0.20. A separate test on a fine sand specimen 17cm long and 7.5cm in diameter maintained a 40cm head difference. 50g of water was collected in 12 seconds, and the summary asks to calculate the hydraulic conductivity.

In a constant head

permeability test in the


laboratory, the following are
given:
Leng of soil specimen =25cm
Cross sectional area of soil
specimen =105cm^2
If the value of the hydraulic
conductivity is 0.014 cm/sec.
and a flow rate of 120
cm^3/min must be
maintained through the soil
det.the ff:
1. Head diff. across the
specimen
2. Discharge velocity under
the test condtion
3. Seepage velocity if the
porosity of soil sample is
0.20
(CE BOARD 2012)
For a constant laboratory
permeability test on a fine
sand, the ff. are given:
Length of soil specimen=17cm
Diameter of soilvspecimen=7.5cm
Constant head difference = 40cm
Weight of water collected= 50g
Duration of water collection =
12sec.

Find the hydraulic conductivity.
