- A flow net for flow around a single row of sheet piles in a permeable soil layer is shown in Figure below with a scale as shown. Given that kx = kz=k = 4 x 10-3 cm/sec, determine How high (above the ground surface) the water will rise if piezometers are placed at points a and b The total rate of seepage through the permeable layer per unit length The approximate average hydraulic gradient at c factor of safety against piping x=1.6 y=2.8arrow_forwardA dam, shown in Figure 5 retains IO m of water. A sheet pile wall (cutoff curtain) on theupstream side, which is used to reduce seepage under the dam, penetrates 7 m into a 20 mthick silty sand stratum. Below the silty sand is a thick deposit of clay. The averagecoefficient of permeability of the silty sand is 2.0 x 10-4 cm/sec.
