Filtration coefficient is a basic parameter to assess hydrogeological features of foundation soil and also the material to be built into geoenginering structures. It can be determined from laboratory testing, empirical formulae based on simple laboratory tests, and also from direct or indirect field tests. Each of these method may lead to different values of filtration coefficient. The paper is focused on determining filtration coefficient of coarse-grain soil with several techniques. Direct results from laboratory testing were referred to the indirect evaluation based on grain size analysis and on static sounding CPTu test.
