1. The results of a constant-head permeability test for a fine sand sample having a diameter
of 150 mm and a length of 300 mm are as follows:
Constant-head difference = 500 mm

5. Refer to
Figure 2 for field
pumping from a
well. For a
steady state
condition, given:
q
=
0.85 m3/min
h1 = 5.65 m at r1 = 60 m
h2 = 4.85 m at r2 = 30 m
Calculate the hydraulic conductivity (cm/sec) of the permeable layer.

7. Refer to Figure 4.
a) Plot the effective pressure diagram at point A, B and C.
b) If the ground water table rises to 2 m below the ground surface, what will be the net
change in effective stress at point C?
c) How high should the groundwater table rise so that the effective stress at C is 120
kN/m2?
8. A 10 m thick layer of stiff saturated clay is underlain by a layer of sand. The sand is under
artesian pressure. A 5.75 m deep cut is made in the clay.
a) Determine the factor of safety against heaving at point A.
b) Calculate the maximum depth of cut that can be made in the clay.
