New tips for saturated hydraulic conductivity in groundwater
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) launched the Calculation of the Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Fine-Grained Soils, Standard ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 65-17, which supplies tips for calculating saturated hydraulic conductivity, permeability and porosity of fine-grained soils. This standard is a part of a collection that enhances the understanding of the habits of the saturated hydraulic conductivity, a key groundwater parameter. The standard might be utilized to refine or enhance calculations of the next:
- Land subsidence
- Groundwater circulate prediction
- The transport of dissolved solutes transferring in groundwater
The methodology on this standard is restricted to fine-grained, compressible, inorganic soils.
