A hydraulic structure with length of horizontal floor in alluvial soil 15 m and 3 m deep vertical sheet pile is attached at its downstream end and the head of water is 4.0 m (see Figure below). Find the thickness of the floor (using Khosla's theory). Is the structure safe against the exit gradient? (F-8, Gr 2.45). H=4m W.L. EC 15 m 3 m D
