The coefficient of permeability is measured using:
A. Casagrande test
B. Consolidation test
C. Constant head or falling head test
D. Proctor test
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The constant head and falling head tests are used to determine soil permeability. These tests are chosen based on the permeability range of the soil.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Soil Mechanics
