Daily Objectives #10 (February 17, 2004) Dr. Sanders
By
the end of today's class, you should be able to do the
following:
v Present the
results of your lab work on measuring the following hydraulic
properties of porous
materials:
porosity effective porosity specific yield specific retention
v Describe the relationships between and among the following properties of porous materials:
p
porosity and effective porosity;
p
specific retention and specific yield;
p
specific yield and effective porosity; and
p
specific yield, specific retention, and porosity.
v Using constant head and falling head
permeameters, measure the hydraulic conductivity of three sediment
samples as described on the lab
procedure handout. A group lab report on the permeameter work
is due next week as the first part of Homework
Assignment #4. Please also
note that there is a second part to the assignment, as well!
