Stormwater Infiltration in Highway Embankments — Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Estimation for Uncompacted and Compacted Soils
The Washington State Department of Transportation has released a report that identifies available methods for estimating hydraulic conductivity, with a focus on the ability of various methods to assess hydraulic conductivity in both loose uncompacted states and compacted states for embankments. This report also considers predicting hydraulic conductivity in natural soils. Estimating hydraulic conductivity is a step in assessing the rate of infiltration.
