ASeepage velocity of water through soil as proportional to the hydraulic gradient and permeability coefficient (v = ki)
BThe shear strength of cohesive soil
CSettlement of foundations on clay
DCompaction of granular fill
✓ Correct answer: A. Seepage velocity of water through soil as proportional to the hydraulic gradient and permeability coefficient (v = ki)Darcy's Law states v = ki, where v is the seepage velocity, k is the coefficient of permeability, and i is the hydraulic gradient. It governs groundwater flow through soils and is fundamental to dewatering and seepage design.
