Question: 2 . 0 ( 2 0 marks ) Given the flow net shown in Figure 2 . 0 , assume the hydraulic conductivity is 1

2.0(20 marks)
Given the flow net shown in Figure 2.0, assume the hydraulic conductivity is 104cms. The sheet pile is 13 m Long. The thickness of the soil layer is 10 m and the sheet pile is driven halfway through the soil. A total head
difference of 6 m of water separates both sides of the sheet pile.
Determine the following:
a) What is the total head (in meters) at Point a?
b) If the total head (in meters) at Point b is 15 m , what is the total head at Point c ?
c) What is the pressure on the sheet pile at Point e?
d) What is the total head (in meters) at Point d?
e) Compute the amount of flow under the sheet pile for its full length in units of cubic meters per day.
