    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard sets out a method for determining the coefficient of permeability for the flow of water through a remoulded specimen by a constant head method. The method is suitable for soils with a coefficient of permeability greater than approximately 10-8 m/s

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard sets out a method for determining the coefficient of permeability for the flow of water through a remoulded specimen by a constant head method (see Note 1). The method is suitable for soils with a coefficient of permeability greater than approximately 10 -8 m/s.
