Question:
A flow net for flow around a single row of sheet piles in a permeable soil layer is shown in
Figure 1. Given that
k = 5 + 10-5 mm/sec
Ya = 20 kN/m³
w = 21%
n = 20%
Determine,
a) How high [m] the water will rise if piezometer is placed at point B (above point B).
b) The total rate of seepage [m/s/m] through the permeable layer per unit length.
c) Magnitudes of effective vertical stress [kN/m³] at A and B.
