ture of 24°C. What would be the hydraulic conductivity at 20°C? Use Eq. (7.15).
7.12 The hydraulic conductivity of a sand at a void ratio of 0.85 is 0.08 cm/sec.
Estimate its hydraulic conductivity at a void ratio of 0.68. Use Eq. (7.31).
7.13 For a sandy soil, the following are given:
• Maximum void ratio = 0.75
• Minimum void ratio = 0.39
Effective size, D₁0 = 0.32 mm
Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the sand at a relative density
of 80%. Use Eq. (7.32).
