imensio הה steady Bepage dam using hand calculations as well as using the commercial software SEEP/W. You are to determine the following: 1) The daily flow of water under the dam without the cutoff wall using hand calculations, 3) The uplift pressure on the base of the dam without the cutoff wall, based on the flow net L6=1.5xL4 L7 L.8=(L. 1+L2) L9=1.5xL4 L1 L2 L3 L4 Cutoff wall thickness:1 m Soil 1 L5 Soil 2
For the hand calculations, assume layer two to be impervious. Table 1: Soil hydraulic parameters and problem dimensions Hydraulic Conductivity Length (m) Group Number (cm/s) Soil 1 Soil 2 Li L3 LA L5 (SW) (CL) 3e-3 2e-6 2.5 19 2 25 5 *%) L2 L7 4 35
