A number of different methods for determining the coefficient of permeability for soils exist‚ including in-situ methods and laboratory methods. In the laboratory‚ two common tests are generally used to determine this soil property. These two tests are the falling head permeability test and the constant head permeability test. Which test is used depends upon
