Question
Permeability tests were performed on a soil sample, under different void ratio
and different temperatures and the following results were obtained.
Test No.
1
2
Void ratio Temperature
°C
(e)
0.65
1.02
25°
40⁰
Estimate the coefficient of permeability at a temperature of 20°C for a voids
ratio of 0.80.
Given the following physical properties of water:
At 20°C, n = 10.09 × 10+ and p„ = 0.998 g/cm³
At 25°C, n = 8.95 × 104 g sec/cm² and p
k(cm/s)
0.4x10
1.9x10¹
At 40° C, n = 6.54 × 10 g sec/cm² and p
8 0.997 g/cm³
= 0.992 g/cm³
