RE: Question on soil mechanics
The differnce in head is the head acrooss sand 2, so you can solve for it's k value.
This should get you started.
RE: Question on soil mechanics
I got 115cm head difference for Sand 2 and an k of 0,0000026
does that make sense?

I may need to get back to you with some more questions if you don't mind.
I am based in Vancouver, what about yourself?
Thanks, Tobias

You're welcome. That problem got me to dust off some rarely-used concepts...graduation was more than 20 years ago for me.
Sure, ask more questions; I may not be able to get on it as quickly but others here may jump in.
I'm located in Anchorage, Alaska - long ways from Vancouver even though Alaska borders on Canada, eh!
