Seepage model of salt field

The permeability of saline soil in Zabuye salt lake in China was studied based on the analysis of difference between the results of saline soil in-site test and indoor seepage test. In order to make the tested values of permeability coefficient more accurate, an in-site permeability test method was proposed to evaluate the verti-cal permeability of soil. The formula for calculation of permeability coefficient was established from a mathematical model. An engineering application demonstrated the applied testing method and the formula were reliable.
