A flownet below a dam consists of 24 equipotential drops and 7 flow channels. The difference between the upstream and downstream water levels is 6 m. The length of the flow line adjacent to the toe of the dam at exit is 1 m. The specific gravity and void ratio of the soil below the dam are 2.70 and 0.70, respectively. The factor of safety against piping is

A single pumping well exists in an ideal confined aquifer. The aquifer has a transmissivity of 4700 ft2/d and storage coefficient of 0.00025. The well is 85 ft west of a no-flow boundary that runs north-south. The pumping well has an effective radius of 0.50 ft, and pumps at a flow rate of 200 gpm. No flow Determine: 85 ft 1. The total drawdown in ft at the pumping well at 6.0 hours after the well was turned on, ignoring characteristic well losses.

Q3. A settling basin for a hydraulic power unit is to be designed. The diverted water discharge is 5 m/sec. The quartz sediment particles (having specific gravity of 2.65) larger than 0.40 mm is not wanted to be present in the diverted water at the outlet of the settling basin. The density of the water in the settling basin is about 1.033 ton/m³. Calculate the total width, depth, and effective length of the basin and draw the plan view and longitudinal profile of the settling basin.
