Question: Figure ( B 1 ) shows a weir section, constructed on a clayey sand layer where the coefficient of permeability is 1 . 8 1

Figure (B1) shows a weir section, constructed on a clayey sand layer where the coefficient of permeability is 1.810-3ms. For this question, you are required to:
Draw the flow net for seepage.
Determine the quantity of seepage (flow rate per meter) in m3s per meter under the dam.
Plot the distribution of uplift pressure in kPa on the base of the weir base.
Determine the uplift force in kN per unit length of the weir.
Plot pore pressure ( kPa ) diagrams along lines A-B and C-D as per below information and Figure (B1):
a. Pints (A) and (C) are located 3 m below the weir base, and
b. Lines (AB) and (CD) are vertical.
