Introduction
Permeability also known as hydraulic conductivity is the ability of the soil to allow the water to pass through it with ease. The characteristic property of soil is useful in calculation of the seepage in the dams and under sheet pile walls. It also helps in determining the rate of seepage through the facilities for storing waste water such as landfills and fish ponds. Moreover, the rate of settlement of clayey soils can also be established. The determination of hydraulic conductivity of soils can be performed using several methods. The method of constant head is used to determine the ...
