Abstract
The paper aims to comparison the permeability coefficient in non-cohesive soils by the method of test pumping and based on tests in a consolidometer. The tests were carried out on 18 types of non-cohesive soils with different fraction. Pumping tests were carried out according to the standard method i.e. by making one well with a diameter of 400 mm and installing two piezometers at different distances from the well. The water table change was measured in piezometers during water pumping from the well. Tests in the consolidometer were carried out on soil samples that were first compacted to the same density index as in the test site. The tests were carried out with a continuous inflow of water from below with constant gradients of 0.50. The tests presented in the paper allow to verify and compare the values of the permeability coefficient in non-cohesive soils determined in the field and laboratory tests.
