ONE-DIMENSIONAL FLOW OF WATER THROUGH SOILS
Answer the following problems. Write your solutions on short bond papers and box your final answer.
1. For a constant head permeability test in a 5. A sand layer of the cross-sectional area shown
sand, the following are given: in the figure has been determined to exist for
L = 300 mm a 800-m length of the levee. The hydraulic
A = 175 cm2 conductivity of the sand layer is 2.8 m/day.
H = 500 mm Determine the quantity of water which flows
water collected in 3 mins = 620 cm3 into the ditch in m3/min.
void ratio of sand = 0.58
Determine:
Determine:
a. absolute permeability of the soil
b. head difference at time t = 6 min

EQUIVALENT COEFFICIENT OF PERMEABILITY IN STRATIFIED SOILS
Answer the following problems. Write your solutions on short bond papers and box your final answer.
1. A layered soil is shown in the figure. Estimate a. Determine the total flow per meter.
the ratio of equivalent hydraulic conductivity b. Determine the equivalent coefficient of
kH(eq) / kV(eq). permeability.
Thickness:
H = 1.50 m; H3 = 0.50 m; H4 = 0.60 m; H5 =
0.40 m
