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: (i) the coefficient of permeability of the soil (in m/sec), and (ii) the estimated height of the water in the standpipe after a further 12 hours of running this test. (iii) the total time (from the start of the test in days, hours, minutes and seconds) it will take for the water level in the standpipe to reach a height of 600 mm.

11-1 A particular tilted aerial photograph exposed with a 152-mm-focal length camera has a tilt angle 2°45’ and a swing angle of 140°00’. On this photograph, what are the auxiliary x' and y photocoordinates for points a and b, whose photocoordinates measured with respect to the fiducial axes are xa = 69.27 mm, ya = -41.80 mm, xb = -54.72 mm, and yb = 106.38 mm?
11-3 Calculate photographic scale for image points a and b of Prob. 11-1 if flying height above datum was 7.200 ft and if elevations of points A and B were 865 ft and 1,232 ft above datum, respectively.
11-8 Compute the tilt displacement of the two points in Prob. 11-1
