Solve Problems 5-10 and 5-11 on p.82 of the text, or see below.
5-10. A reservoir with a 35,000-ft2 area is underlain by layers of stratified soils as depicted in Figure 5-23. Compute the water loss from the reservoir in 1 year. Assume that the pore pressure at the bottom sand layer is zero.
5-11. For the reservoir described in Problem 5-10, estimate the average coefficient of permeability in the horizontal direction.
Calculate the seepage and uplift force on the dam seen below if:
k=6.8210-3cms
H=45ft.
, width of dam=80ft.
upstream depth to bottom of water =50ft.
upstream depth below bottom of water to bottom of dam =5ft.
downstream depth to bottom of dam =5ft.
depth from bottom of dam to sheet pile cutoff =10ft.
