In a geotechnical project, Engineers are to drive two sheet piles 8 m away from each other and 4 m into a permeable sand layer as shown in Figure 1. The sand layer is located on top of an impermeable rock and had a saturated unit weight of 19.3 kN/m3 and permeability value of 0.0007 m/sec.
Plot the pore water pressure diagrams along lines AB and DC as per below information and Figure 1:
a. Point (A) is located 3 m below the soil surface and 1.5 m from the left sheet pile in horizontal direction,
b. Point (C) is located 1 m below the soil surface and 4 m from the left sheet pile in horizontal direction, and
c. Lines (AB) and (CD) are horizontal and vertical lines, respectively.
