Coefficient of Permeability in Compaction of Soil Formulas

Coefficient of Permeability is a measure of a soil’s ability to allow water to flow through its pores. Essential in the design of retaining walls, cutoff walls, and other seepage control measures. And is denoted by k. Coefficient of Permeability is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Coefficient of Permeability is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Coefficient of Permeability?

Coefficient of Permeability is a measure of a soil’s ability to allow water to flow through its pores. Essential in the design of retaining walls, cutoff walls, and other seepage control measures. Coefficient of Permeability is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Coefficient of Permeability is always positive.

Can the Coefficient of Permeability be negative?

No, the Coefficient of Permeability, measured in Speed cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Coefficient of Permeability?

Coefficient of Permeability is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Coefficient of Permeability can be measured.
