Abstract

Small-scale infiltration tests were performed on a flow control layer made of compacted sand, installed at the surface of an experimental waste rock pile. The hydraulic conductivity of the sand layer was evaluated from a field investigation using three different testing methods: single-ring infiltrometer, double-ring infiltrometer and Guelph permeameter. The objective was to evaluate and compare the use of these techniques to assess the in-situ hydraulic conductivity of the sand layer. Results from analytical solutions and inverse numerical modelling were also compared. The field approaches gave fairly similar results when the measurements were interpreted with existing approximate solutions, although tests with the Guelph permeameter and single-ring infiltrometer led to slightly higher values of the hydraulic conductivity. The numerical interpretation generally gave lower values for the saturated hydraulic conductivity compared with those obtained analytically, but the differences remain within a factor of 3 or less. The predictive models used in this study, and validated with laboratory measurements, also gave comparable values for the saturated hydraulic conductivity. Any of the three testing methods applied here could, therefore, be used to evaluate the field hydraulic conductivity of the sand layer. Numerical simulations have the advantage of not relying on empirical parameters but require more work with a good estimate of the water retention curve. The investigation also showed that the predictive models used here gave reliable values for hydraulic conductivity when the void ratio was properly determined; such models should however be validated with controlled tests, as was the case here.
