The dam shown has a base of which 2m below the ground surface. The pressure distribution diagram at the base of the dam can be obtained from the equipotential lines as follows: k=4.5 m/day. if H=6m determine the seepage through the foundation.
A sand layer of 3 m thick lies on a 3 m clay deposit. The water table is below 2 m of the ground surface. There is a 1 m capillary rise above the water table. Below the clay, there is a 2 m of a sand layer that lies on a bedrock. Piezometers installed at the bottom of the clay layer show an artesian pressure, the piezometric level being 1 m above the ground surface. The saturated and dry unit weight of the sand is 18 and 16 kN/m3, respectively. The saturated unit weight of the clay is 20 kN/m3.
