SESSION 7 PERMEABILITY / CAPILARITY

Bina Nusantara

INTRODUCTION

• DEFINITION :THE VELOCITY OR THE CAPABILITY OF WATER/FLUDI PASS THROUGH POROUS MEDIA

• NOTATION : k

• UNIT :m/s, cm/s

• PURPOSE :– To evaluate the seepage through dam– To evaluate the uplift force or seepage force under hydraulic structure for

stability analysis– To control seepage velocity– To determine the consolidation time rate

RANGE OF k VALUE

C is coefficient of soil roughness (published by Hazen), the value range from 40 to 150 i.e. as follow :

C Sand (one or all of the next characteristics)

40-80 Very fine, well graded or contain some fine particle

80-120 Rather rough, poor graded or clean, rough and well graded

120-150 Very rough, very poor graded, contain gravel and clean
