A falling-head permeameter containing a silty clay loam soil sample has a sample diameter of 10 cm, a falling-head tube of diameter 2 cm, and a sample length of 4 cm. If the initial head is 15 cm. It falls 4 cm over a period of 6 hours. (a) Find the hydraulic conductivity of the soil sample in m/s and ft/d.
(b) What would be the hydraulic head after 12 hours?
(c) How long would it take for the hydraulic head to drop to 95% of the initial value?

A falling head permeability test was performed on a re-moulded
silty clay soil sample 150 mm in diameter and 250 mm in length. The
diameter of the standpipe was 12.7 mm. At the start of the test,
the height of the water in the standpipe measured 2,236 mm above
the constant water level where the soil sample was immersed in.
After 7 hours and 45 minutes, the height of the water in the
standpipe was measured at 1971 mm. Determine:...

3. A falling head permeability test is conducted on a sample of
soil. The standpipe diameter = 5 mm, and the soil sample was
cylindrical, 20 cm long by 10 cm in diameter. During the test, the
initial head of water in the standpipe was 100 cm, and it dropped
to 35 cm in 3 hours. a. Determine the coefficient of permeability,
k, of the soil (cm/s). b. What soil type do you think this is?

IF a collected soil sample was classified as
silty clay loamusing the Soil Analysis Chart (Figure 2 in
the experiment description document), what properties would you
expect in the sample? (You should mention properties such as the
color, porosity, and potential nutrient availability of the
soil).

The soil profile at a site consists of a clay layer 10 m thick,
sandwich between two sand layers. The top sand layer has a density
of 1.9 Mg/m3 and is 5 m thick. Below this layer is a 10 m thick
clay layer with a saturated density of 1.8 Mg/m3 and a saturated
water content 42%. The deeper sand layer has a saturated density of
1.9 Mg/m3 and extend to the depth investigated at the site. The
water table...

A soil sample weighing 122g has diameter and length equal to 4.5
inches
and 11 inches, respectively. The moisture content in soil came out
to be 40 %. If specific gravity of soil
solids is 2.67. Find Bulk unit weight, dry mass of sample, voids

A cylindrical soil sample, 7.3 cm in diameter and 16.8 cm in
height, is tested in a constant-head permeability apparatus. A
constant head of 75 cm is maintained during the test. After 1
minute of testing, a total of 945.7 gm of water was collected. The
temperature was 20 oC. The void ratio of the soil was 0.43.
Calculate the following:
The hydraulic gradient
The flow rate
The discharge velocity
The seepage force per unit volume
The coefficient of permeability
