2. (15 points) The following figure shows a clay layer under an earth-filled dam with a reservoir on the right side and a pond on the left side of the dam. (1) (10 points) Determine the seepage loss through the clay layer when hydraulic conductivity K = 10-4 m/s, H = 20 m, L = 50 m, and b = 10m. (2) (5 points) A chemical company suddenly dumps a conservative chemical substance into the reservoir. Assuming that the chemical...
3. The flow net shown below illustrates flow conditions beneath a concrete dam featuring an upstream "clay blanket" (an impermeable clay layer) and a downstream "cutoff wall", both of which serve to lengthen the flow path. The coefficient of permeability, k, of the permeable strata is 8 x 10 cm/s. a. Calculate the flow rate, q, per day beneath the dam (per m of dam out-of-plane). b. Calculate the total head, elevation head, pressure head, and pore water pressure at...
Question 5 (Effective Stress & Consolidation) Figure 05 shows the soil profile of a construction site. The water table is at the ground surface. Saturated unit weight of the sand is 18.8kN/m' and that of the clay is 19.6kN/m. Assume permeability of the clay is very low and unit weight of water is 10kN/m'. Water Table Sand 5m Clay 6m Figure 05 a) Determine the vertical total stress, pore water pressure, and vertical effective stress at the mid-height of the...

The coefficient of permeability(i.e.the hydraulic conductivity) of the soil is 5.0×10-5m/s.(1) Identify all of the boundary conditions.(2) Determine the quantity of seepage.(3) What is the uplift force on the base of the structure?(4) Determine the water pressure at Point A
Answer All Please, really need it for exam. inwill like back [15) 3. Two lines of sheet pile walls are driven into a river bed to allow excavation of a trench. Water level in the trench is maintained at the bottiom of the excavation (level C-F) by pumping Elevations are as follows: Impervious layer (level E-G; datum): Oft Soil surface (level B-B') Water level & soil level in trench (C-F): 40t Water level in river (A-A'): 75 t Tip of...
*need the uplift force Problem 5 Consider the flow net shown below. The sandy soil has an average saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m and permeability of 0.002 cm/s. Numbers provided are elevations from the interface with the impervious layer. The other "set" of numbers counts the number of head drops. (a) Compute the distribution of pore water pressure acting along the base of the concrete weir, and determine the vertical uplift force that the water pressure exerts on the...

Problem #5 The figure below shows a submersible pump being used to circulate 60L/min of water based coolant (sg=0.95) to the cutter of a milling machine. The outlet is through a 3/4" Sch 40 steel pipe. Assuming a total energy loss due to the piping is 3.0 N.m/N, calculate the total head developed by the pump and the power delivered to the coolant. Milling machine Flow . C Problem 14 The pipeling shown takes water from a reservoir and terminates...
Please solve a,b,c,d,e,f 1) A water fountain is to be installed at a remote location by attaching a cast iron pipe directly to a water main through which water is flowing. The entrance to the pipe is sharp-edged 15m (K-0.5), and the 15m long piping system involves three 90 bends without vanes (K1.1), a fully open gate valve (K.-0.2), and a fully open angle valve (K-5). If the diameter of the pipe is 2 em and the system is to...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
