Question 3(20 marks):
Figure below shows the cross-section of a concrete gravity dam and reservoir resting on a 40 m thickness layer of homogeneous and isotropic low-porosity (n=5%) sandy soil on impervious rock. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of the sandy soil 10md. The crest of the concrete gravity dam is approximately 20 m long (normal to the picture).
