Question 1
A soil has discharge velocity of m/s and a void ratio of 0.60. Its seepage velocity will be____x 10-7 m/s
Question 2
What are the essentials required to draw a flow net?
Question 3
An earth dam has conductivity kx = 4.5×10-8 m/s and ky = 1.6×10-8 m/s in the vertical and horizontal directions as respectively. Determine the quantity of seepage per unit length through the dam.
Given that
No. of flow channels = 4
No. of equipotential drops = 18
Head loss = 18 m
Given that
No. of flow channels = 4
No. of equipotential drops = 18
Head loss = 18 m
Question 4
When seepage is occurring through an earthen dam having number of equipotential lines 24 and number of flow lines is 13. Coefficient of permeability of the soil is 20 cm/hr and total head loss is 8m. What is the rate of seepage (cm3/sec per meter of length of dam) through earthen dam?
Question 5
Water is flowing at a steady rate through a homogeneous and saturated horizontal soil strip of 10 m length. The strip is being subjected to a constant water head(H) of 5 m at the beginning and 1 m at the end. If the governing equation of flow in the soil strip is (where x is the distance along the soil strip), the value of H (in m) at the middle of the strip is ________
Question 6
An unit volume of a mass of saturated soil is subjected to horizontal seepage. The saturated unit weight is 22 kN/m3 and the hydraulic gradient is 0.3. The resultant body force on the soil mass is
