Soil Hydraulic Conductivity Calculator

Estimate saturated hydraulic conductivity from soil texture, grain size distribution, or Kozeny-Carman equation: K = (e³/(1+e))·(γ_w/μ)·(d_s²/180). USDA texture class K ranges.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Estimate saturated hydraulic conductivity from soil texture, grain size distribution, or Kozeny-Carman equation: K = (e³/(1+e))·(γ_w/μ)·(d_s²/180). USDA texture class K ranges

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Soil texture — The soil texture recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Grain size distribution — The grain size distribution recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Or Kozeny-Carman equation: K = )·· — The or kozeny-carman equation: k = )·· recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the soil k saturated result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the soil texture, grain size distribution, or Kozeny-Carman equation: K = )·· for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Estimate saturated hydraulic conductivity from soil texture, grain size distribution, or Kozeny-Carman equation: K = (e³/(1+e))·(γ_w/μ)·(d_s²/180). USDA texture class K ranges. Use the soil k saturated result to inform your clinical assessment.
