Abstract

To raise the accuracy of determining seepage properties of clay soils, characterized by the coefficient of permeability, the authors, in conducting an experiment, significantly increased the cross-sectional area of the specimen being tested and raised the flow rate of seepage water. As a result, the duration of compaction of these soils was calculated more precisely.
