Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the sand

Reference no: EM13561627

The maximum dry density determined in the laboratory for a quartz sand is 1800 kg/m^3. In the field, if the relative compaction is 90%, determine the hydraulic conductivity of the sand in the field compaction condition (given that k for the sand at the maximum dry density condition is .040 cm/sec and Gs = 2.65).
