2. Uniformity coefficient,
3. Curvature coefficient
v = q/A = k.i
where k = permeability of the soil
i = Dh/L,
Dh = difference in total heads
L = length of the soil mass
Permeability (k) of Different Soils:
Soil k (cm/sec)
Gravel 100
Coarse sand 100 to 10-1
Medium sand 10-1 to 10-2
Fine sand 10-2 to 10-3
Silty sand 10-3 to 10-4
Silt 1 x 10-5
Clay 10-7 to 10-9
Laboratory Measurement of Permeability
Constant Head Flow
Integrating,
