简介:Thepaperdescribesapermeametertestmethodfordeterminationofthehydraulicconductivity(AT)alongmulti-directionsinfluvialsedimentswithcrossbeddings.Unlikeexistingin-situpermeametermethodsthatdeterminehydraulicconductivityforsubmergedstreambeds,ourmethodwasintendedtomeasurehydraulicconductivityofexposedstreambedsorfluvialsediments.ThemethodwasappliedtotheWeiRiver,ShaanxiProvince,CentralChinaforcharacterizationoftheanisotropyofKinawell-sortedfluvialsediment.Theresultsillustratedthateveninwell-sortedsediments,cross-beddingandsedimentfabrication(ortexture)canleadtovariedKvaluesalongdifferentmeasurementdirections.TheKvaluewasthelargestalongthedipdirection(orthemajordirection)thatisparalleltotheorientationofcrossbeddingandthesmallestinthedirectionperpendiculartothebedding(ortheminordirection).TheKvalueinagivendirectionbetweenthemajorandminordirectionoftenfellintherangeboundedbytheKvaluesinthemajorandminordirections.TheanisotropyratioofK(theratioofKvaluebetweenthemajorandminordirections)intwotrenchesforthiswell-sortedfluvialsedimentwasupto1.14to1.23,respectively.Ourresultsalsodemonstratedthatevenforwell-sortedsediments,theKvaluesbetweentwosamplingpointsonlyabout10cmapartcandiffer.ItisclearthattheKdistributionstronglycorrelatestothebeddingorientation.
