A well is fully penetrated into a 27 m thick layer of sand which is underlain by a rock layer below the static water table. After 24 hours of pumping at 50 liters per second, the water level in an observation well at a distance of 0.10 km from the test well is lowered 50 cm. At another test well located 5000 cm from the test well, the water level dropped by 1000 mm. 1. Evaluate the coefficient of permeability (K) in cm per day? 2. If K 1.15 cm/sec, what should be the rate of discharge (q) in ( lit/sec)?

(e) A soil profile consists of a clay layer between layers of sand, the water table being in theupper sand layer. Before the construction of a raft foundation for a large reservoir, piezometers were placed in the saturated clay layer. The whole process of filling the reservoir may be approximated to applying rapidly a single pressure increment of 200 kPa uniformly throughout the clay layer. One year after filling the reservoir, the piezometers indicated a distribution of excess porewater pressure as indicated in Figure Q-e. Estimate the average degree of consolidation at this time.
