Please help me find the solution.
Fig. 5 shows the distribution of potential lines under the base at the end of a stilling basin. The foundation is 3 m deep with another 3m of pile sheet wall below. The unit soil weight is y/y`=19/11 kN/m^3.
a) Draw the hydraulic failure body and introduce the favorable and unfavorable forces as well as the remaining potential for the exit gradient into Fig.5.Fig. 5: Potential lines under the base
b) Calculate the before mentioned values.
c) Check for the safety against hydraulic bearing failure.
Partial safety factors: yH =1.35 ; yG,stb =0.95
