Many failure mechanisms of geotechnical or foundation engineering occurred due to instability in the soil mass. One of the methods to solve the problem is the construction designing of a flow net system that is used for solving groundwater flow problems. Table Q1(a) shows the basic symbol used in the equation to calculate flow net. Discuss FIVE (5) characteristics for constructing a flow net in the graphical seepage.
Table Q1(a): Basic symbol flow net equations
(b) Determine pre-consolidation pressure, compression index and swell index by referring to the curve obtained from Q1 (a).
