Book Description
An alternative to field measurement of hydraulic conductivity is to conduct laboratory hydraulic conductivity tests on specimens large enough to simulate field-scale conditions. Laboratory tests can be performed rapidly using standard procedures and with accurate control of state of stress and gradient. The objective of this research program was to identify how large a specimen must be to yield field-scale hydraulic conductivity. This objective was accomplished through field testing, laboratory testing, and statistical modeling.
