Details

The following outlines the test procedure to be adopted in the Accelerated Permeability Tests (AP tests) in determining the permeability of clayey soils. The procedure is consistent with that adopted in the Environment Agency R&D Contract Project No. P1-3398 ‘Validation of the Accelerated Permeability Test as an Alternative to the British Standard Triaxial Permeability Test’.
