A river bed consists of a layer of sand 8.25 m thick overlying impermeable rock; the depth of water is 2.50 m. A long cofferdam 5.50 m wide is formed by driving two lines of sheet piling to a depth of 6.00 m below the level of the river bed, and excavation to a depth of 2.00 m below bed level is carried out within the cofferdam. The water level within the cofferdam is kept at excavation level by pumping. If the flow of water into the cofferdam is 10.25 m'/h per unit length, a. Draw the flow net for the seepage flow -5.50m b. what is the coefficient of permeability of the sand? Sheet piling c. what is the hydraulic gradient immediately below the excavated surface? d. What is the lateral earth pressure at points A, B,. 2.50m Evi 2.00m vel Datum y=115 pcf =30° 6.00m 2.25m Natteale

Three level lines established on three different routes to established benchmarks, the result of which is as follows: Route 1: Elevation of BM1 is 25.325m. BM2 has an elevation which is 65.258m above BM1 and BM3 is 83.442m above BM2. Distance of route from BM1 to BM2 is 4.8km and from BM2 to BM3 is 7.8km. Route 2: BM3 is 148.78m above BM1. Distance of route from BM1 to BM3 is 8km long. Route 3: BM3 is 148.26m above BM1. Distance of route from BM1 to BM3 is 14.5km long.A.
