Laboratory Determination of Hydraulic Conductivity
Hydraulic conductivity is the measure of flowability of water inside the soil in the presence of a hydraulic gradient. The hydraulic gradient is defined as the difference in the water heads in the soil, which induces a water motion. In simple terms, a hy…
Question
A carefully-weighed 57.6 gram soil sample was dispersed for particle-size analysis using the Bouyoucos hydrometer method. The laboratory was held at a constant temperature of 20 C (68 F). The hydrometer reading after 40 seconds was 21.3 and the hydrometer reading after 8 hours was 17.0. How many grams of particles in the sample were either silt-sized or clay-sized? Your Answer: Answer units
