Abstract:

The saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, was measured on a loamy sand, a fine sandy loam, a silt loam and a clay at four 100-m2-area sites in southern Ontario. Twenty measurements of Ks were obtained by each of three different measurement techniques at each of the four sites. The techniques included: (1) the air-entry permeameter method; (2) the constant head well permeameter method using the Guelph Permeameter; and (3) the falling-head permeameter method applied to small soil cores. The Ks data were found to be better described by the log-normal frequency distribution than by the normal freq

Abstract:

Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and drainable porosity (f) determined by different methods and for different depths were compared with those determined from the performance of drainage systems installed at two locations. These comparisons were made to determine which methods are suitable for use in subsurface drainage design. Auger hole and constant-head well permeameter Ks were 140 and 110%, respectively, of Ks determined from subsurface drains. Agreement of horizontal or vertical Ks, from in situ falling-head permeameters; to other methods was satisfactory providing sample numbers were

Abstract:

Porous friction courses (PFCs) are employed as surface layers primarily because of their functionality (i.e., their high permeability and noise absorption capability). In this study, the functionality of PFCs was evaluated through permeability and noise absorption tests in pavement structures of different thicknesses (i.e., 0.75, 1.5, and 2.5 in.), each at two air void contents (i.e., design and construction). Permeability was evaluated in the laboratory and the field with the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT) permeameter, the National Center of Asphalt Technology (NCAT) permeameter, an

Abstract:

Background and purposeAneurysm recurrence is the primary limitation of endovascular coiling treatment for cerebral aneurysms. Coiling is currently quantified by a volumetric porosity measure called packing density (pd). Blood flow through a coil mass depends on the permeability of the coil mass, and not just its pd. The permeability of coil masses has not yet been quantified. Here we measure coil permeability with a traditional falling-head permeameter modified to incorporate idealized aneurysms.MethodsSilicone replicas of idealized aneurysms were manufactured with three different aneurysm dia

Abstract:

Riverbed hydraulic conductivity (Kr) was measured along one river reach in four tributaries of the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) in south-eastern Australia. Two techniques were trialled: in-river falling-head tests in high Kr sediments, and laboratory evaporation tests on intact riverbed cores for low Kr sediments. In-river falling-head tests were conducted using two types of permeameter: a steel-base permeameter or a stand-pipe permeameter. Kr was found to range from 10–10 to 10–3 m s–1, corresponding to a range in riverbed sediment textures from clay to silty gravels, respectively. Although the

Abstract:

The readings of the settlement of a sample during a standard oedometer step loading test provide the values of the parameters of compressibility and indirectly of the permeability. The present article shows how a very simple permeability device available in most laboratories can be used to determine the modulus, the permeability, and the consolidation properties of the soils. The described procedure shortens the duration of the test and prevents the interruption of the loading required to carry out the traditional permeability tests. Four experimental examples allow the assessment of the merit

The falling-head and rising-tail method for permeability test allows for both inflow and outflow rates to be conveniently measured. This helps to detect any possible swelling or consolidation of specimen during testing and to identify the continuity of flow of water through the specimen. It has been widely adopted to measure the hydraulic conductivity of saturated porous media of extremely low permeability, such as hydraulic barrier soil materials. Centrifuge permeameter test with this method has recently been devised to accelerate water flow and reduce the time needed for testing. The accompa

This paper discusses methods for evaluating the coefficient of permeability k of the weathered and fissured Champlain clay crust. This parameter is important because losses due to seepage from fluid-retaining structures are directly porportional to the value of k. The presence of fissures complicates its evaluation, and conventional techniques produce questionable results for two reasons: Clogging of fissures by the smearing of the clay on the walls of test holes during drilling and insertion of a probe leads to an underestimation of k, and conversely, hydraulic fracturing caused by the applic
