Upload NowThe following article will guide you about how to determine the permeability of soil. Constant Head Permeability Test: Permeability of coarse-grained soils having high permeability is determined in the laboratory by the constant head permeability test. The principle of the test is to measure the volume of water flowing through a soil specimen in a […]

In the theory of compression, soil compression is assumed to occur by the decrease in the volume of voids, the volume of solids remaining constant throughout the process. Also, higher the effective stress in soils, higher is the resulting compression. Hence, the compressibility of soils is expressed in the terms of a plot between void […]
How to Determine the Seepage Velocity of Soil? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
In laboratory or field experiments for the determination of permeability, usually the total cross-sectional area of the soil A is used for convenience. The velocity of water obtained using the total cross-sectional area of the soil is known as discharge velocity or superficial velocity. Since water flows only through voids and not through the total […]
