Q- If a soil has a voids ratio of 0.68 and water percolating through it has a discharge velocity of 1.35*10-2cm/s. Calculate its seepage velocity.
For a sandy soil with Gs 2.68, calculate the critical hydraulic gradient that willcause boiling or quick condition for e 0.38, 0.48, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8. Plot thevariation of icr with the void ratio.
Consider Figure FTR I (Taken from Geotechnical Engineer- ing Design, King Xiao, stric tly for educationa/ purposes} shown. If the specific gravity of the soils are respectively from top to bottom 2.6, 2.7 and 2.73, estimate the effec- tive stresses at the mid thickness of each layer.
The specific gravity of the ground soil of an earth dam is Gs=2.58, the void ratio e=0.84, and the hydraulic gradient i e at the downstream seepage outlet is 0.22. If the safety factor Fs is 2.2, then ask whether there will be the damage of soil flow at the outlet of the earth dam?
