The void ratios above were estimated based on the coefficient of uniformity (C<sub>U</sub>)<ref>Vuković, Milan and Soro, Andjelko Determination of hydraulic conductivity of porous media from grain-size composition.

Where coefficient of uniformity is the ratio of the 60th and 10th percentile grain sizes:
Where coefficient of uniformity is the ratio of the 60th and 10th percentile grain sizes:
<math>C_U=\frac{d_{60}}{d_{10}}</math>
<math>C_U=\frac{d_{60}}{d_{10}}</math>
Permeability (K) was estimated from the 10th percentile using the [[Hazen]] formula.
