8.1 Refer to the constant-head permeability test arrangement in a two-layered soil as shown in Figure 8.2. During the test, it was seen that when a constant head of h1 = 200 mm was maintained, the magnitude of h 2 was 80 mm. If k 1 is 0.004 cm/sec, determine the value of k 2 given H 1 = 100 mm and H 2 = 150 mm. Figure 8. Step 1/ Given that, Head difference between top of the layer number 1 and bottom of the layer number 2 h 1 = 200 mm, Magnitude of h 2 = 80 mm, Hydraulic conductivity of soil layer number 1 is k 1 = 0.004 cm/sec, Height of the soil layer number 1 is H 1 = 100 mm, Height of the soil layer number 2 is H 2 = 150 mm. Step 2/ The constant head permeability test arrangement is shown in the figure.
Step 3/ In order to compute the hydraulic conductivity of soil layer number-2, we have the expression for as. Where Height of the soil layer number-1. Height of the soil layer number-2. Hydraulic conductivity of soil layer number-1. Hydraulic conductivity of soil layer number-2. Step 4/ On substitution, we get
Determine the head difference. Here, head difference is , head at upstream side of flow is , and head at downstream side of flow is. Substitute for , and for in formula. Thus, the head difference is.
Determine the seepage loss per meter length of sheet pile. Here, seepage loss is , hydraulic conductivity is , number of flow channels is , number of potential drops is , and head difference is. Substitute for , for , for , and for in formula.
Therefore, the seepage loss per meter length of sheet pile is.
Determine the head difference. Here, H is the head difference between upstream and downstream sides, H 1 is the head at the upstream side of the flow, and H 2 is the head at the downstream side of the flow. Substitute 3 m for H 1 and 0.5 m for H 2.
Determine the seepage loss per meter length of sheet pile. Here, q is the Seepage loss per meter length of the sheet pile, k is the hydraulic conductivity, H is the head difference between upstream and downstream sides, N f is the number of flow channels in the flow net, and N d is the number of potential drops. Substitute 3 for , 6 for , for , for , and for H.
Convert q from to.
Therefore, the seepage loss per meter length of sheet pile is. 8.6 Refer to Problem 8.5. Using the flow net drawn, calculate the hydraulic uplift force at the base of the hydraulic structure per meter length (measured along the axis of the structure). Figure 8.
The combination of equipotential lines and flow lines are collectively called as flow net. The process of drawing the flow net diagram is only by trial and error method.
Points to remember for drawing a flow net diagram is as follows:
As it is trial and error method, so number of numbers of equipotential drop and number of flow channels may vary. Procedure of drawing a flow net as follows:
Substitute 12 for , 5 for , for , and for in formula. Therefore, the seepage loss per meter length of sheet pile is.
Draw the flow net.
Determine the head difference. Here, number of potential drops is , and head difference is. Substitute for , and for in formula.
Thus, the head difference is. Determine pressure head at D. Here, head difference is , head at upstream side of flow is , and head at downstream side of flow is. Substitute for , and for in formula. Thus, the pressure head at D is.
