Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

Q-4: The following figure shows the flow net for seepage of water around a single row of sheet piles driven into a permeable layer. Calculate how deep the sheet pile should be driven (h) to achieve factor of safety = 3 against downstream heave, given that ysat for the permeable layer = 18 kN/m3.

Seepage theories
The difference of water level between the upstream and downstream side of sheet pile of length 9 m is 45 m. The Length of the impervious floor is 54 m. The exit gradient as Khosla's method is
Correct answer with explaination
A horizontal impervious floor of length 20 m is provided with a sheet pile of 5 m depth at its downstream end. The head causing flow is 3 m. If the specific gravity of soil is 2.68 and void ratio of soil is 0.70 then the factor of safety against piping (by Khosla's theory) would be (Correct upto 1 decimal place).
A 3 m deep excavation will be supported by a cantilever sheet pile. The foundation soil is dense sand, but it is assumed that the pile tip penetrates impermeable soil so hydrostatic pore pressure can be used. A surcharge of 10kPa is applied at the ground level.

Use Yw=10kN/m³ for your calculations. a) Using a factor of safety of 2.0 for Kp, check if D'=5m is safe or not (no need to iterate for other D'). b) Calculate the maximum bending moment.
