The figure below shows the cross-section of a concrete dam founded on permeable soil, below which there is an impermeable stratum. The permeability of the soil k = 1.25 x 10-5 m/s. Pore pressure at point C is: 50 m 1.6 m 6.3m Datum 9.4 m 17.2 m FIGURE P7.30 (Adapted from Taylor, 1948.) 43.3 kPa 40.4 kPa 30.9 kPa 34.2 kPa
