(i) A weir across an alluvial river has a horizontal floor of length 80 m and retains 8 m of water under full pond condition. If the downstream sheet pile is driven to a depth 8 m below the average bed level, then calculate the exit gradient. Also assuming a porosity of 25% and the relative density of soil particles as 2.70, determine the critical exit gradient and the factor of safety of the system with respect to the exit gradient.
