For a constant head laboratory permeability test on fine sand, the following values are given:
Length of specimen, L = 15inches
Diameter of specimen, D = 3inches
Head difference, h = 22inches
Water collected in 120 seconds = 0.057cu.in
Void ratio, e = 0.37
a. Determine the hydraulic conductivity (in/min) of the soil.
b. Determine the discharge velocity (in/min) through the soil.
c. Determine the seepage velocity (in/min) {νs=νn}.
Note: Your answer must contain 5 numbers after the decimal point. (Example: 0.00504, 0.00899, 0.02345, 0.00200) these values must be used to solve succeeding questions.
