Falling head permeameter and software to determine the hydraulic conductivity of saturated soil
01/Jun/2010
The soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kθs) is a property with great variability, which requires the use of a greater number of determinations so that they can be described by the normal probability density function. Consequently, there is an increase in time and labor to obtain Kθs results if determined by conventional equipment. The use of more practical equipment and computational tools allows a faster and more accurate analysis. With this aim a falling head permeameter was built and a software […]
