and the ground layer formations are as follows. The ground layer consists of a reclamation layer with fine sand up to 1.5 m below the surface; from 1.5 to 38 m, it is composed of a marine sedimentary layer with silty clay, containing small amounts of fine gravel and shells...
Olsen [19] believed that the difference between the measured water conductivity of saturated clay and the predicted values of Darcy’s law and the KC equation was mainly caused by the pore size heterogeneity in clay soil. Zhang et al. [20] studied the permeability of silty clay from the ...
