Question
Help! Show all work please. I will leave a good response!
You are given the flow net for the gravity dam shown in Figure below. Two piezometers (i.e. standpipe) are installed at Point A and B.
a. Calculate the pore pressure at Point A and B.
b. Calculate the uplift pressure under the dam (lbs/ft) assuming pressure changes linearly between point A to B.
c. If hydraulic conductivity of the soil is k=1.5 ft/yr, what is the flow rate (Q) under the dam (ft³/yr/ft)?
60 ft
