Calculate soil permeability and hydraulic conductivity for geotechnical and hydrogeological applications
Calculate hydraulic conductivity using various methods including constant head permeability test and grain size correlation.
| Material | Hydraulic Conductivity (m/s) | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Clean Gravel | 10⁻² to 10⁻⁰ | Drainage, filters |
| Clean Sand | 10⁻⁵ to 10⁻² | Water wells, aquifers |
| Silty Sand | 10⁻⁷ to 10⁻⁵ | Semi-pervious layers |
| Clay | < 10⁻⁹ | Barriers, liners |
