Upload NowIn 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 […]

Laplace Equation for Two-Dimensional Flow | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about the laplace equation for determining two-dimensional flow of soil elements. Consider a soil element of infinitesimally small size of dx and dz in X- and Z-directions, respectively, through which the flow is taking place, shown in Fig. 10.8. Consider unit length of the soil element in the Y-direction. […]
How to Test Compaction of Soil? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
Compaction test is conducted in the laboratory to determine the relation between the dry density and the water content of the given soil compacted with standard compaction energy and to determine the OMC corresponding to the MDD. The OMC obtained from the laboratory compaction test will help in deciding the amount of water to be […]
