A reservoir with a 3,400 m² area is underlain by layers of stratified soils as chown in Figure 10.32. The values of L1, L2, and L3 are 2.0 m, 1.4 m, and 3.2 m, respectively. (a) What the average vertical coefficient of permeability. (b) Determine the interstitial (actual) velocity of water moving through the soil if it has a void ratio of 0.60. (c) Compute the water loss from the reservoir in one year. Assume that Cs s the pore pressure at ihe bottom sand layer is zero.

Course; is Geotechnical Engineering-II. ( Department; Civil engineering department )
Part E. Engineering Considerations Engineers and scientists in the development industry are responsible for designing structures to function properly from a structural standpoint. This involves an investigation to understand existing site-specific geological and geotechnical parameters. We then compensate for any adverse conditions in a site by either remediation of the site conditions, modifications to our structural design, or a combination of both. In this part of the exercise, we will look at a recent Case Study. Open Google Earth & enter the following coordinates: Latitude 40.153, Longitude: -76.724. This is the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station. Three Mile Island (TMI) is so named because it is located three miles downriver from Middleton, Pennsylvania. This location became famous for having a partial nuclear meltdown in 1979. At that time, TMI was the most significant nuclear accident in US commercial nuclear energy to date. The incident was widely publicized…
