Permemeter instruments are used
in the laboratory for the purpose of studying the
percolation of water in soil. a permeameter was
assembled as shown in the Figure. Consider
the reference level at the same elevation as point A.
determine:

a) Altimetric, piezometric and total loads for
the indicated points
b) The total, neutral and effective tensions for the
indicated points
c) Hydraulic gradients and flow rates in each
soil
d) If there is a possibility of occurrence of the
quicksand phenomenon. If not,
describe what it would take for
should such a phenomenon occur
