On close investigation of a sample it was found to be in three layers 20mm, 60mm, and 40mm. The permeability of these layers are 3x10-³mm/sec, 5x10-4mm/sec, and 17x10-4mm/sec respectively. Find kH kyi H, +kµz ·H, +kµ3 H; +…+ k, · H, H
A glass cylinder 5 cm internal diameter and with a screen at the bottom was used as a falling head permeameter. The thickness of the sample was 10 cm. With the water level in the tube at the start of the test as 50 cm above the tail water, it dropped by 10 cm in one minute, the tail water level remaining unchanged. Calculate the value of k (cm/s) for the sample of the soil.

TNT N 351 9:33 K/s A project engineer receives a laboratory report with tests performed on a certain soil sample on a particular location. The engineer suspects that one of the measurements is in error. Are the engineer's suspicions correct? If so, Which of these values is wronq, and what should be its correct value? Given: *Unit weight of the sample = 18.4 kN/cu.m *Unit weight of solids= 26.1 kN/cu.m *water content= 40% *void ratio= 1.12 *degree of saturation= 95% the unit weight of the sample in incorrect, thus the correct value is 17.2 kN/ cu.m the unit weight of the solids is incorrect, thus the correct value is 25.2 kN/cu.m the water content is incorrect, thus the correct value is 42 % the void ratio is incorrect, thus the correct value is 0.112 the degree of saturation is incorrect, thus the correct value is 0.95 all of the results were correct, thus engineer suspicions are void.
