Stormwater Infiltration in Highway Embankments – Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Estimation for Natural Low Plasticity Silts
The Washington State Department of Transportation has released a report that analyzes the results of hydraulic connectivity testing conducted on undisturbed samples of natural soils. Estimating hydraulic conductivity is important in assessing the rate of infiltration, whether that estimate is for an infiltration pond or trench, a highway embankment, or for natural dispersion in general.
