Title
Standard Test Method for Field Measurement of Hydraulic Conductivity Limits of Porous Materials Using Two Stages of Infiltration from a Borehole
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2006
Scope:
This test method covers field measurement of limiting values for vertical and horizontal hydraulic conductivities (also referred to as coeffıcients of permeability) of porous materials using the two-stage, cased borehole technique. These limiting hydraulic conductivity values are the maximum possible for the vertical direction and minimum possible for the horizontal direction. Determination of actual hydraulic conductivity values requires further analysis by qualified personnel.
This test method may be utilized for compacted fills natural deposits, above or below the water table, that have mean hydraulic conductivity less than or equal to 1310–5 m/ (1310–3 cm/s).
Keywords:
- in-place hydraulic activity
- vertical hydraulic conductivity
- horizontal hydraulic conductivity
