May 27, 2019 A precise method for determining the k-value for a certain groundwater area in situ involves lowering the groundwater using pumps [Herth95]. (Image: Groundwater lowering) In order to cover all traversed soil layers, the extraction well has to have the same depth as the wells of the future groundwater lowering system or pipe run. As a general rule, the soil samples of the extraction well and all measuring level positions should be tested by means of … |

May 27, 2019 Prior to the design and dimensioning of technical details, investigations according to [[ASTM D2434]] and/or [DIN18130-1:1998] should also be included. Their evaluation is based on the application of Darcy‘s law and, as a result, provides the permeability coefficient k. (Formula: Permeability coefficient k according to Darcy‘s law) (Image: Filter velocity v = Q (flow) / A (cross section)) (Image: Examples of permeability tests [Soos96] - Test arrangement … |

May 27, 2019 (Image: Influence of the hydraulic gradient onto the permeability coefficient) Darcy‘s law does not apply to coarse granular materials (turbulent flow). In the test setting, the hydraulic gradient can be chosen according to practical aspects, as long as the flow behaviour is in line with Darcy‘s flow law (linear flow region), the particle structure is not changed and the flow of fluid does not cause a consolidation or swelling of the sample.

May 27, 2019 (Image: Influence of the average grain diameter d onto the limits of the linear region of the filter flow law) In the cases where the flow behaviour is non-linear, the hydraulic gradient in the laboratory has to be adjusted to the field conditions. The limits of the linear flow region can be roughly estimated subject to the average particle diameter [DIN18130-1:1998]. Thus, for water permeability tests under prelinear or postlinear conditions in the … |

May 27, 2019 In literature, you will find simple mathematical solutions for a practical, fast and approximate determination of the soil's water permeability, given a precise knowledge of the geological conditions. These solutions are especially useful for non-cohesive types of soil and they are dependent on the given particle size distribution. The most common formulas are listed below: (Table: Calculation of soil permeability coefficient based on particle diameter) |

May 27, 2019 As the solution to his determined interrelations, Beyer provides an easy-to-handle nomogram, from which you can directly read off the water permeability for sands and gravels [Beyer64]. However, this method does not take sufficient account of decisive influencing factors (as e.g. the given bedding density). Thus, reliable data for the individual case of application can only be gathered by means of a test arrangement for the determination of the water … |

May 27, 2019 The construction of sewers is often carried out using the open construction method. Depending on the design, this results in pipe-soil systems with different external loads on the sewer. To understand these relationships, the soil mechanical and hydrogeological principles for characterizing the subsoil are explained. After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of how:
