    The document discusses several studies on the permeability of soils under different loading conditions: 1) Permeability generally decreases with isostatic or oedometric loading as porosity and clay particle orientation changes, though some studies found no significant permeability change following shear deformation. 2) One study observed permeability depends on prior stress, with over-consolidated sediments showing permeability increases from brittle shear zones, but not under-consolidated sediments. 3) Another study found permeability decreases with confining stress and is correlated to void ratio, while particle size did not significantly impact permeability in gravelly soils.

    Raynaud et al.

    (2010)

    Most permeability measurements are obtained during isostatic loading or


    oedometric loading. Permeability decreases as a function of loading: this is
    related to diminishing volume of voids (porosity) and also to the reorientation
    of clay particles.
    A few studies of the permeability evolution associated with deviatoric
    deformation have also been published. These later studies are mainly motivated
    by observations in accretionary prisms where ductile shear zones seem to have
    important role in fluid migration patterns.
    Obviously, the mean average value of radiological density measured on all
    cross-section areas is close to the value obtained for the undeformed sample and
    corresponds to 45% porosity. That is to say, at the sample scale, the positive and
    negative distribution of the porosity variations induced by the stress field are
    apparently counterbalanced. This observation is consistent with very low
    variation of the volumetric deformation and also consistent with very weak
    permeability variation, which is a bulk rock property. In fact, the lack of
    significant permeability increase following the intense shear deformation is a
    strong argument for stating that zones of increased porosity associated with
    shear zones are discontinuous.
    The occurrence of shear bands does not appear to modify the initial density
    distribution of {001} crystallographic planes. We conclude that the number of
    particles, which have been re-oriented by shear, is statistically very weak.
    At the particle scale, relative movements of the particles, producing a re-
    organisation of the microstructure, account for deformation. (a) There is no
    evidence of breakage or damage of the particles. (b) The macroscopic shear
    bands are composed of a sandwich of micro-shear bands of reoriented and
    non-reoriented particles (5m in width for each band). (c) In the non-reoriented
    micro-bands, the elongation plane of the particles remains perpendicular to the
    axial loading. In the reoriented micro-shear bands, the particles are turned off
    and they tend to be oriented parallel to the macroscopic shear band direction.
    Bolton et al. observe that the resulting permeability evolution depends on the
    previous stress story of the sample: for under-consolidated sediments, no
    significant permeability variation is associated with shear. For over-
    consolidated sediments, clear increases of permeability associated with
    corresponding porosity growth are attributed to the occurrence of discrete brittle
    shear zones.
    Despite a strong axial deformation (17%), no significant permeability increase
    is seen at the sample scale in the axial direction. This behavior, which could
    appear to be strange, is in fact related to the negligible volumetric deformation
    of the sample.
    Hatanaka et al. (2001)

    The coefficient of permeability decreases with increasing confining stress. The


    effect of the confining stress can be understood as the effect of the void ratio.
    And the small change of the void ratio due to consolidation only leads to a small
    change of the coefficient of permeability.
    There is no good correlation between the physical properties and the coefficient
    of permeability.
    The coefficient of permeability of gravelly soils is almost the same as that of
    sandy soils, even though the 50% diameter of gravelly soils is about ten to a
    hundred times that of sandy soils. This result implies that the large size particles
    of gravelly soils are not significant in the permeability characteristics of gravelly
    soils.
    The effect of the small size particle of the gravelly soils on the coefficient of
    permeability was found significant
