Question 12 Water is flowing downwards through a vertical sand column as shown in Figure 6. The length of the column L 160 cm, the cross-sectional area A 220 cm2, the head difference Ah 130 cm (assume this head difference is constant). The sand in the column has a hydraulic conductivity k 25 m/d and the porosity n=0.32. Determine the steady state seepage velocity of soil.

Subject: Geotechnical Engineering (soil mechanics). Q3. A sand sample of 35 cm2 cross sectional area and 20 cm long was tested in a constant head permeameter. Under a head of 60 cm, the discharge was 120 ml in 6 min. The dry weight of sand used for the test was 1120 gm, and Gs = 2.68. Determine (a) the hydraulic conductivity in cm/sec, (b) the discharge velocity, and (c) the seepage velocity.
A constant-head permeameter has a diameter of 2.5 cm. A 5.0 cm soil sample with the same cross-sectional area is place in the permeameter. When a head difference of 5 cm is applied between the inlet and outlet ports, the permeameter discharges 50 cm3 of water in 90 s. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the soil in m/s and in ft/day. (b) What is the intrinsic permeability of the soil at 20 ◦C? (c) What would be the soil’s...
Problem 3: A constant-head permeability test was performed on the soil sample shown below. The hydraulic conductivities were 0.04 cm/s for the sand and 0.0004 cm/s for the silt. The cross-sectional area of the sample is 10 cm², of which 9 cm' is sand and the remainder is silt. (a) Plot how the total hydraulic head (expressed in terms of AH) and hydraulic gradient vary along the length of the sample. (b) What would be the hydraulic conductivity (k) for...

2. A cylindrical sample of soil is confined in a rigid-wall permeameter and measures 10 cm in diameter and 20 cm in length. The axis of the cylindrical sample lies in a horizontal plane. They hydraulic head at the left end of the specimen is controlled by a reservoir; the water surface in the reservoir is exactly 100 cm above the horizontal axis of the cylindrical soil sample and remains at 100 cm through a system that automatically adds water...
A gravelly sand channel slopes away from a reservoir, through the reservoir rim, to an adjacent drainage area. The channel slopes at a gradient of 23 m (75 ft) vertically to 30.5 m (100 ft) horizontally. In cross section the channel is 1.8 m (6 ft) thick and 4.6 m (15 ft) wide. The channel intersects the adjacent drainage area at a horizontal distance of 152.4 m (500 ft) from the reservoir. a. At minimum pool elevation in the reservoir...
