Summary of Test Method4.1 The transmissivity is determined using a device whichtransmits the flow of water radially outward from the center ofa torus-shaped test specimen. The test method i

20、s performedwith a constant head under a specific normal stress selected bythe user and may be repeated using several gradients and underincreasing normal stresses.4.2 The material property “hydraulic transmissivity” is tech-nically applicable only to the regions of tests where the flowrate is consta

21、nt with gradient, that is, the laminar region of thetests.4.3 In the constant head radial flow test, the flow regime ischaracterized as nonuniform steady flow since the cross-sectional flow area and the hydraulic gradient vary from pointto point along any radial flow line while remaining constantwit

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is an index test to estimate andcompare the in-plane hydraulic transmissivity of one or severalcandidate geosynthetics under specific gradient and stressconditions.5.2 This test method may be used for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments of geo

23、synthetics, but caution is advisedsince information about between-laboratory precision is in-complete. Comparative tests as directed in 5.2.1 are advisable.5.2.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this procedure for acceptanceof commercial shipments, the

24、 purchaser and the suppliershould first confirm that the tests have been conducted usingcomparable test parameters including specimen conditioning,normal stress, hydraulic system gradient, etc. Comparativetests then should be conducted to determine if there is astatistical bias between their laborat

25、ories. Competent statisticalassistance is recommended for the investigation of bias. As aminimum, the two parties should take a group of test speci-mens that are as homogeneous as possible and that are formedfrom a lot of the material in question. The test specimensshould be assigned randomly to eac

26、h laboratory for testing.The average results from the two laboratories should becompared using the Students t-test for unpaired data and anacceptable probability level chosen by the two parties beforetesting is begun. If bias is found, either its cause must be foundand corrected or the purchaser and

27、 supplier must agree tointerpret future test results in light of the known bias.6. Apparatus6.1 A schematic drawing of a typical constant head assem-bly is shown in Fig. 1.

The center inlet hole shall be 50 mm (2 in).The outside dimension of the base must match or exceed theoutside diameter of the test specimen. A manometer tap s

29、houldbe located in the sidewall of the inlet opening.6.1.2 Perimeter Containment/Outlet WeirA perimeterring concentric with the outside diameter of the test specimenwith sufficient height to contain the tail water, such that thespecimen remains submerged under water at all times duringthe test. The

30、containment ring should double as the overflowwier, with a beveled edge around the perimeter, with an outerconcentric collection trough for collection of the overflow.Alternatively, the containment ring may include a rectangularoverflow weir at one location in the ring that is at least 2.5 cmwide wi

The platen/specimendiameter establishes the outside diameter, Ro. The upper platenshould have a spherical chamber of

32、 an outside diametermatching the outside diameter of the inlet opening to facilitatecollection of any air bubbles that may collect at the specimeninlet. This chamber should be tapped at the apex to allowventing. This tap may also be connected to a manometer formeasurement of the inlet head.6.1.4 Rub

If arectangular weir is used (see 6.1.2), the tail head tap should belocated in the perimeter outflow trough at 90 to the weirlocation.6.1.7.1 The influence of the meniscus tension within themanometer sight tubes on the head measure

38、ments should bechecked by performing a test in accordance with this testmethod, then ramping the gradient back up to the maximumvalue (see 10.8 and 10.9). The resulting degree of hyteresis inthe plot of flow rate versus gradient provides a measure of thesight tube accuracy. If the meniscus effect re

39、sults in a differ-ence in flow rate values at a given gradient of more than 5 %,the sight tube accuracy should be improved by increasing theinside diameter of the sight tubes, or by using tubes made ofglass instead of plastic, or both.6.1.8 Flowrate Measuring EquipmentEquipment that re-sults in a me
