Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

The coefficient of permeability below a dam is 4m/day. The water on the upstream side is 20m higher than on the downstream side. To estimate the seepage below the dam, a flownet was graphically drawn such that the number of potential drops Nd=10 and number of flow channels Nf=4. The base of the dam is founded 1m below the ground. Between the heel and the toe of the dam, a distance of 30m, there are 8 potential drops. Evaluate the seepage flow per meter width of the dam in liters per minute. Determine the uplift pressure at the heel of the dam in kPa. Determine the uplift pressure at the toe of the dam in kPa.
An oil tank is to be sited on a soft alluvial deposit of clay. Below the soft clay is athick layer of stiff clay. It was decided that a circular embankment, 10 m diameter,with wick drains inserted into the soft clay would be constructed to preconsolidateit. The height of the embankment is 6 m and the unit weight of the soil comprisingthe embankment is 18 kN/m3. The following data are available: thickness of softclay = 7 m, ks = 1 × 10−10 m/s and Ch = 0.6 m2/yr. The desired degree ofconsolidation is 90% in 12 months. Determine the spacing of a square grid of thewick drains. Assume wick drain of size 100 mm × 3 mm and qw = 0.1 × 10−6 m3/s.The flow point distance is 4 m. Assume a half-closed system.
4.A layer of saturated clay is 10 m thick, the lower boundary being impermeable;an embankment is to be constructed above the clay. Determine the time requiredfor 90% consolidation of the clay layer.
