Which field test is most appropriate for determining the permeability of coarse-grained soils?
A. Constant head permeability test
B. Falling head test
C. Triaxial test
D. Direct shear test
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The constant head permeability test is ideal for coarse-grained soils (like sands), allowing a steady flow of water to measure hydraulic conductivity accurately.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Site Investigation And Geotechnical Exploration
