• Constant head permeability tests were performed on two soil specimens, S1 and S2. The ratio of height of the two specimens (Lej:L2) is 1.5, the ratio of the diameter of specimens (D:D) is 0.5, and the ratio of the constant head (hh) applied on the specimens is 2.0. If the discharge from both the specimens is equal, the ratio of the permeability of the soil specimens (kik) is s1' 's1
