Question: 2 . 4 The section through a sheet pile wall along a tidal estuary is given below. At low tide the water level in front

2.4 The section through a sheet pile wall along a tidal estuary is given below. At low tide the water
level in front of the wall is at ground surface; the water table behind the wall lags 5m behind
tidal level. The partial flow channel is estimated at one-tenth of the full channel. Soil has a
saturated unit weight of 17kNm3,(i) Compute the factor of safety against heaving, (ii) Compute
the factor of safety against boiling, (iii) What would be the unit weight of backfill to the level of
back wall ground surface that will result into a factor of safety against heaving of 2?[(i)=1.6,
(ii)=1.7,(iii)=1.9kNm3]
