6. An Impervious floor of a weir on Permeable Soil is 16m long and has Sheet piles On Both Ends. The Upstream pile is 4m deep and downstream is 5m deep. The Weir Creates a net head of 2.5 m neglecting the thickness of the floor. Calculate the Pressure at the Junction of inner faces of the Pile with weir floor Using Khosla's theory.
Refer to Figure 18.9. A cantilever sheet pile is driven into a granular soil where the water table is 2 m (L1) below the top of the sand. The properties of the sand are =40, =17.5kN/m3, and sat=19kN/m3. It is proposed to excavate to a depth of 6 m (L) below the ground level. Determine the actual depth to which the sheet pile must be driven (L + D), using the net lateral pressure diagram. Note: Dactual=1.3(L3+L4)theory
Profile of a weir on permeable foundation is shown in figure I and an elementary profile of 'upstream pile only case' according to Khosla's theory is shown in figure II.
