Name:_ Show All Work

01. Calculate the hydraulic


conductivity (cm/sec) for the
constant head test shown on the
figure with the given data:
• L = 457 mm
• A = area of specimen = 22.6
cm2
• Constant head difference = 711
mm
• Water collected in 3 min =
353.6 cm3

02. The hydraulic conductivity of a sand at void ratio of 0.5 is 0.022 cm/sec. Estimate its
hydraulic conductivity at a void ratio of 0.7.

03. A sand layer of the cross section shown in the figure has been determined to exist for a
800 m length of the levee. The hydraulic conductivity of the sand layer is 2.8 m/day.
Determine the quantity of water which flows into the ditch in m3/min.
04. A layered soil is shown on the figure. Estimate
the ratio of equivalent hydraulic conductivity
kx(eq)/ky(eq).
