The figure below shows a large scale, constant-head test set up in which one-dimensional seepage is allowed to occur through a soil sample. Answer the following questions based on the information available on this figure. a) Fill in the table below with values for pressure head, elevation head and total head at Points A and B. Di b) Calculate the hydraulic gradient for seepage through the test specimen. i=LDh?=512?=2.40 c) If the cross section area of the soil sample is 25in2, and the flow rate through the test specimen was 2.0 x10?4ft3/min, then what is the hydraulic conductivity k of soil in ft/min ?
