Draw a flow netlfor the case of a long concrete dam shown in the Figure below and calculate the quantity of seepage underneath the dam. The soil underneath the dam is homogeneous and isotropic with a coefficient of permeability of 1.8 x 106 m/s. Determine the minimum weight of the dam required to maintain a factor of safety of 1.5 against the uplift of the dam. If the saturated unit weight of the soil is 18 KN/mP, check whether quicksand...

3. The flow net shown below illustrates flow conditions beneath a concrete dam featuring an upstream "clay blanket" (an impermeable clay layer) and a downstream "cutoff wall", both of which serve to lengthen the flow path. The coefficient of permeability, k, of the permeable strata is 8 x 10 cm/s. a. Calculate the flow rate, q, per day beneath the dam (per m of dam out-of-plane). b. Calculate the total head, elevation head, pressure head, and pore water pressure at...
