A flow net for flow around a single row of sheet piles, which is 328 ft long, in a permeable soil layer is shown in Figure 1. Given that kx=kz=k=6.210-4cms, determine
a) Mark the number of flow channels, number of potential head drops, and each head drop
b) How high (above the ground surface) the water will rise if piezometers are placed at points a and b
c) The approximate average hydraulic gradient at c
d) Determine the quantity of seepage across the entire row of sheet piles.
