How many formulas that exist to find the hydraulic conductivity value in falling head test? Especially if we do the permeability test on recompacted soil.
Thank you.

@jmcc3265 I need the permeability value for landfill design. I tested few samples mix between clay to get the lowest coefficient value, then I came across that there are some different formula to determined the k value.

We perform remolded falling-head tests in the Florida panhandle for retention pond design. We encounter primarily poorly graded fine sands [SP, SP-SM] in our area. We use the formula: k=2.303(aL/At) 〖log〗_10 (h_1/h_2)
Remolded samples, in my opinion, are not real accurate. I sometimes push tubes to perform permeability testing on; however, it is difficult to obtain an 'undisturbed' sample of sandy material.
You can also find relationships for hydraulic conductivity for cohesive and granular soils in most geotechnical textbooks. These relationships use void ratio, and grain size and gradation to estimate the hydraulic conductivity. I would not use these for design though.

Early Supplier Involvement has long been a strategy employed by manufacturers to produce innovative products. Now, it almost seems like a necessity. Because decisions made in the design phase can positively affect product quality and costs, this can help add value to OEM bottom lines.

This white paper describes what we see as the best practices to support a sustainable engineering process for autonomous vehicle design. It exposes how to use simulation and testing in common frameworks to enable design exploration, verification and validation for the development of autonomous cars at a system, software and full-vehicle level to drive a mature product development process for automated driving.

Remote access enables engineers to work from anywhere provided they have an internet connection. We surveyed our audience of engineers, designers and product managers to learn how they use remote access within their organizations. We wanted to know which industries have adopted remote access, which software they are using, and what features matter most. Download Now
