Question
The below figure shows a theoretical flow net for seepage around a sheet pile wall. The soil is isotropic with k = 1.78 ×10 m/s, γ = 17.7 kN/m (γ = 10 kN/m³).
(a) Calculate the vertical effective stresses at points A and B.
(b) If the water level on the right-hand side rises and becomes same as the lefthand side, calculate the vertical effective stresses at points A and B (assume water level on the left-hand side remains unchanged).
(c) Compare the results obtained in (a) and (b). Provide your interpretation and justification.
