Question:

Refer to Figure 9.4a in which upward seepage is taking place through a granular soil contained in a tank. Given: H1 = 1.5 m; Hs = 2.5 m; h = 1.5 m; area of the tank = 0.62 m2; void ratio of the soil, e = 0.49; Gs = 2.66; and hydraulic conductivity of the sand (k) = 0.21 cm/sec.
a. What is the rate of upward seepage?
b. Will boiling occur when h = 1.5 m? Explain.
c. What would be the critical value of h to cause boiling?
