Question: A constant - head test was conducted on a cylindrical sample of soil 2 0 c m long and 1 0 c m in diameter.

A constant-head test was conducted on a cylindrical sample of soil 20cm long and 10cm in diameter. The volume of water collected in 1 minute was 137cm3. The head difference during this test was 30cm. The temperature of the water was 20C during the test. The porosity of this sand is 37% and the specific gravity of solids is 2.63. Calculate:
a. the hydraulic conductivity at 20C(or coefficient of permeability),k20
b. the average flow velocity (also called Darcy's velocity),v
c. the seepage velocity
d. seepage force
A constant - head test was conducted on a
