Question:
The figure shows a layer of granular soil in a tank where upward seepage is caused by supplying water through the valve at the bottom of the tank. The rate of water supply is kept constant. The void ratio of sand e = 0.45, sp. gr. Gs = 2.68 cross-sectional area of tank = 0.6 m2. And hydraulic conductivity of sand = 0.1 cm/sec.
1. What is the rate of upward seepage in m3 /sec.
2. What would be the critical hydraulic gradient.
3. What should be the value of “h” to cause boiling?
