    This document provides information and calculations for several constant head permeability tests on soils. It includes: 1) Determining hydraulic conductivity, discharge velocity, and seepage velocity for tests with given length, area, head difference, void ratio, and collected water values. 2) Calculating the head difference required to maintain a given flow rate through a soil specimen, given the hydraulic conductivity and specimen dimensions. 3) Finding the discharge velocity for a final test with a fine sand, given the length, head difference, diameter, collected water, and time values.

    The key takeaways are the steps to calculate hydraulic gradient, rate of seepage, and factors that affect discharge velocity from Darcy's Law equations.

    The steps to calculate the hydraulic gradient are to take the change in head over the length of flow and calculate the sine of the angle of inclination.

    To calculate the rate of seepage, you use Darcy's Law equation of Q=kiA, where Q is the flow rate, k is the hydraulic conductivity, i is the hydraulic gradient, and A is the cross-sectional area of flow.
