Question
3 Seepage is occurring through the sandy layer underneath the concrete dam as
shown in Figure 7.30.
Concrete dam
H₁
Seepage
H₂ H₂
Sandy layer
Impervious rock
PXSXX2X
L
Figure 7.30
Given: upstream water level, H₁ = 16 m; downstream water level, H₂ = 2.3 m;
thickness of the sandy layer, H, = 0.75 m; hydraulic conductivity of the
sandy layer, k = 0.009 cm/sec; void ratio of sand, e = 0.8; and L = 45 m.
Determine:
a. Rate of seepage per unit length of the dam (in m³/hr/m)
b. Seepage velocity
c. Quantity of seepage per day if the dam is 350 m long
