Triaxial Permeability Test: Specimen Details Saturation Details

This document summarizes the results of a triaxial permeability test conducted on a soil sample from Borehole BH1 at a depth of 1.00 m below ground level. The sample consisted of off white silty sandy clay with numerous rock fragments. Key test details include an initial specimen height of 115 mm, diameter of 105 mm, bulk density of 2.02 g/cm3, and water content of 20%. The sample was subjected to a cell pressure of 400 kPa and back pressure of 100 kPa. The coefficient of permeability determined from the test was 6.48x10-10 m/s.
