Q3 (a) A falling head permeability test was conducted on a soil sample with diameter of 76 mm and sample length of 70 mm. The sample was connected to a standpipe of diameter 1.5 mm, where the water level (total head) was measured to drop from 1.56 m to 1.18 m in 65 s. Determine the coefficient of permeability of the soil sample. (b) Explain why it is more preferable to conduct the falling head test, instead of the constant...

A constant-head permeameter has a diameter of 2.5 cm. A 5.0 cm soil sample with the same cross-sectional area is place in the permeameter. When a head difference of 5 cm is applied between the inlet and outlet ports, the permeameter discharges 50 cm3 of water in 90 s. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the soil in m/s and in ft/day. (b) What is the intrinsic permeability of the soil at 20 ◦C? (c) What would be the soil’s...

Q3. A sand sample of 35 cm2 cross sectional area and 20 cm long was tested in a constant head permeameter. Under a head of 60 cm, the discharge was 120 ml in 6 min. The dry weight of sand used for the test was 1120 gm, and Gs = 2.68. Determine (a) the hydraulic conductivity in cm/sec, (b) the discharge velocity, and (c) the seepage velocity.

Problem 3: A constant-head permeability test was performed on the soil sample shown below. The hydraulic conductivities were 0.04 cm/s for the sand and 0.0004 cm/s for the silt. The cross-sectional area of the sample is 10 cm², of which 9 cm' is sand and the remainder is silt. (a) Plot how the total hydraulic head (expressed in terms of AH) and hydraulic gradient vary along the length of the sample. (b) What would be the hydraulic conductivity (k) for...

*need the uplift force
Problem 5 Consider the flow net shown below. The sandy soil has an average saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m and permeability of 0.002 cm/s. Numbers provided are elevations from the interface with the impervious layer. The other "set" of numbers counts the number of head drops. (a) Compute the distribution of pore water pressure acting along the base of the concrete weir, and determine the vertical uplift force that the water pressure exerts on the...
