Problem

The saturated soil specimen shown below has a permeability of $0\mathrm{.}005c\frac{m}{sec},$ a porosity of $38\%,$ and a cross$-$sectional area of $22c{m}^2.$ Two standpipes are placed at points A and $B$ as shown below. The specimen has reached a steady state condition after flushing it with water for $1hr.$

Determine:

Elevation head $($in $cm)$ at points A and $B.$

Pore water pressure $($in kPa $)$ at points A and $B.$

Discharge velocity $($in $c\frac{m}{sec})$ through the sample.

What is the quantity of flow through the sample in $c\frac{m^3}{?}$ day?

What is the magnitude of the seepage velocity $($in $c\frac{m}{sec})?$
