Figure shows a vertical cross section through a typical concrete gravity dam with a cutoff trench.You are asked to determine the flow of water under the dam and to calculate uplift pressure at thebottom of the dam. The solution to both problems will require that you construct a flow net tosimulate flow beneath this dam.1. Construct a flow net on Figure 1 showing groundwater flow under the dam. 2. The dam in Figure 1 is 100 m long (along the axis), and the abutments are in solid bedrock.Aquifer tests have shown the alluvium has a hydraulic conductivity of 4 x 10-5 m/s. The reservoirdepth is maintained constantly at 12 m, with a tailwater pool 2 m deep.How much water is lost under the dam (Q)? 3. Gravity dams depend on their mass for stability. Gravity dams can fail by sliding or by tippingover, that is, by rotation about the toe if lateral pressures on the upstream face become excessive. Theprobability of either type of failure is increased by uplift pressures on the bottom of the…

11. A channel runs almost parallel to a river as shown in the figure. The water level in the river has an elevation of 36 m. and the elevation of the channel is 33 m. The river and channel are 600 m apart and a previous formation of the average thickness of 9 m and hydraulic conductivity of 0.80 m/hr joints them together.

Water flows in a rectangular channel of width, w. In some cases, the water may suddenly increase in elevation as shown in the figure (from h1 to h2) through a highly disturbed region called a hydraulic jump. Assume the velocity is uniform at stations 1 and 2, and assume the pressures are distributed hydrostatically. (a) Using the conservation of mass and momentum, find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g. (b) Using the Bernoulli equation and whatever other necessary equation(s), find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g.

Explain.(c) For h1 = 1 m and V1 = 7:6 m/s, find the downstream height, h2, using whichever of the above approaches is the most correct. (Note that there are two valid solutions - explain.)
