Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the Permeability of soils is not affected by Soil strength.
Detailed explanation-2: -2. Which of the following factors affects the permeability of soil? Explanation: Grain size, properties of pore fluid, structural soil arrangement of soil particles, entrapped air and foreign matter and adsorbed water.
Detailed explanation-3: -(i) Particle size. (ii) Void ratio. (iii) Degree of saturation.
Detailed explanation-4: -A number of factors affect the permeability of soils, from particle size, impurities in the water, void ratio, the degree of saturation, and adsorbed water, to entrapped air and organic material.
Detailed explanation-5: -Permeability is largely dependent on the size and shape of the pores in the substance and, in granular materials such as sedimentary rocks, by the size, shape, and packing arrangement of the grains.
