Section 7.2 described the importance of total head and hydraulic gradient on the seepage of water through
Question:
Perform the following tasks:
a. Determine the quantity of water flowing through the sample per hour.
b. Denoting the downstream water level (Y-Y) to be the datum, determine the elevation head (Z), pressure head (u/ γw), and the total head (h) at the entrance and exit of each soil layer.
c. Plot the variation of the elevation head, pressure head and the total head with the horizontal distance along the sample axis (X-X).
d. Plot the variations of discharge velocity and the seepage velocity along the sample axis.
e. What will be the height of the vertical columns of water inside piezometers A and B installed on the sample axis?
