Question: Figure ( 1 ) shows a weir section, constructed on a clayey sand layer where the coefficient of permeability is ( 1 . 5

Figure (1) shows a weir section, constructed on a clayey sand layer where the coefficient of permeability is \(1.5\times 10^{-4}\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\). For this question, you are required to:
1) Draw the flow net for seepage.
2) Determine the quantity of seepage (flow rate per meter) in \(\mathrm{m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\) per meter under the dam.
3) Plot the distribution of uplift pressure in \( k P a \) on the base of the dam.
4) Determine the uplift force in \( k N \) per unit length of the dam.
5) Plot pore pressure ( kPa ) diagrams along A-D and B-C lines. Flow net and quality of flow net
