A bed of sand consists of three horizontal layers of equal thickness. The magnitude of the coefficient of permeability

for both upper and lower layer is 4104mm/s and for middle layer it is 6102mm/s. what is the ratio of average permiability of bed in horizontal to that of vertical direction.

Kh = coefficient of permeability in horizontal direction Kv = coefficient of permeability in vertical direction Kh=K1H1+K2H2+K3H3H H1=H2=H3=H3 Kh=13(K1+K2+K3) =0.020cm/sec HKv=H1K1+H2K2+H3K3 3Kv=(2500+16.67+2500) 1Kv=1672.22 Kv=5.980104 KhKv=33.44
