At a construction site, two piezometers have been installed. Piezometer A has a screen 8 m below ground surface and piezometer B has a screen 4 m below ground surface. The water level in piezometer A is 1 m below ground surface and the water level in piezometer B is 1.5 m below ground surface. Test pits at this site indicate that the water table is 1.55 m below ground surface. (5 marks)
a) Is groundwater flowing up or down?
b) If there is no horizontal groundwater flow and flow is at steady state and equal everywhere in the saturated zone, is hydraulic conductivity higher between 1.55 and 4 m deep or between 4 and 8 m deep?
c) What is the effective stress at 8 m? The saturated density of the overlying soil is 1800 kg/m^3 and the dry density of the soil is 1600 kg/m^3

Question 2 The soil profile at a level site consists of a 3-m thick layer of sandy clay, overlaying an 8-m thick layer of loose sand, overlaying stiff gravelly clays that extend to depths greater than 20 m. The water table is at a depth of 2 m and the ground water is initially hydrostatic. The total unit weight of the upper sandy clay, above or below the water table, is 18 kN/m3. The total unit weight of the loose...

A site has groundwater contaminated with 1 mg/L hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI). A permeable reactive barrier (PRB) measuring 8 m × 8 m is placed across the path of the groundwater flow and loaded with 30 kg of iron metal Fe0 , which can reduce Cr(VI) to the much less toxic trivalent chromium, Cr(III), by this reaction: Cr(VI) + Fe0 → Cr(III) + Fe(III) In the direction of flow, the hydraulic head declines by 8 m per 1000 m. The soil...
