Abstract

The unsaturated hydraulic permeability for expansive soils, as one of the most important properties of unsaturated soils, has been estimated by employing a new proposed indirect method which uses pressure plate test (PPT) apparatus [1]. This paper gives a brief review on direct and indirect methods of measuring unsaturated hydraulic permeability parameter on one hand, and explains different empirical models on the other hand. The theory behind the proposed method is extensively discussed, and a mathematical formula is derived according to UNSATURATED FLOW rules, and the physical model, which has been employed. Three different soil samples have been chosen as per the magnitude of their overloads and their UNSATURATED PERMEABILITY have been estimated. Accordingly on the other hand, the UNSATURATED PERMEABILITY has been estimated according to Van Genuchten [2] empirical model for non-expansive soil and saturated permeability - void ratio relationship [3]. The results obtained from the new method and those of selected empirical model have been compared. Comparison shows a close compatibility between both results and it has been concluded that the new method is more appropriate in predicting unsaturated hydraulic conductivity for swelling soils, specially those with very low water content.
