This page is used for data entry of falling head and constant head permeability test, and to view / print the test results. This page can be accessed from the Soil Mechanics Lab. menu. After entering the sample and apparatus information, please enter water head and time readings in the table. Please note that data should be entered in the white cells. The red cells are automatically calculated by the program.

 

 

Percolation Test

This page can be accessed from the Soil Mechanics Lab. menu and is used to enter hydraulic conductivity of soil to be shown on the borehole logs when:

  • This represents a field test results such as percolation test
  • This is a laboratory test results but details of data is not available to be used in Permeability Test page

In order to enter permeability of soil make sure the sample is defined as Percolation type on borehole manager page. Select the sample from the test toolbar and enter the test results.

 

 

Test results entered on this page will be shown on the borehole log.
