Refer to attached problem.

Transcribed Image Text:1. (35) For the assumption that H₁-10 m and H₂-2m, plot the diagrams of total and effective stresses
and pore water pressure along AD line. Assume that the saturated unit weight of soil is 18 kN/m³, and
that distances AB, BC and CD are 2, 5 and 20 m, respectively. In addition, calculate the seepage rate for
the assumption that the dam is 80 m long and k=0.000,01 m/s.
