Answer #1

By substituting the above data we get K = 3.95 cm/sec ie. None of the option is matching.

If we take vol. V = 35000 cm^3 then we are getting K = 0.395 cm/sec = 3.95 X 10^-1 cm/sec ie. Option C is matching.

I request you to please check the data given in the question.

(a) A constant head permeability test was performed for the soil specimen. The sample length was 90 mm and sample diameter was 75 mm. The total head loss across the sample was measured to be 635 mm. The flow rate was measured and it took 278 seconds to fill up a 1-litre beaker. Estimate the coefficient of permeability (k), in m/s, based on results of the constant head test. (b) If a falling head test was conducted on the same...

Q1. A standard constant head permeability test was performed on a coarse sand soil sample that was 100 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length. The measured discharge through the sample was 2.16 litres per minute with an equivalent constant head loss of 845 mm (acting over the entire sample length). At the end of the test, the total mass of the sample was recorded 3.142 kg and the moisture content of the sample was measured at 24 %....

A soil sample is 10 cm in diameter and 1 m long. The sample is oriented vertically in a tube. The tube in which the soil resides is 2.5 m tall. The lower 1 m is occupied by the soil, and there is 1 m of water ponded on top of the soil. A float valve keeps the amount of water ponded on the soil at 1 m. Water drips out the bottom of the soil specimen such that the...
