Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

Q3: A 0.2 m in diameter sand drains are spaced on 3 m centers in a clay soil "square patterns". Tests indicate the vertical cv. 1 x 103 m²/day and the horizontal value = 4c.. Estimate how long it will take for a 6 m depth of this clay to undergo 80 percent consolidation "two-way drainage". What drain spacing would be required to reduce the consolidation time to 6 months?
