Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

A dam includes a sheet pile "cut off" wall near the toe, installed to 7 ft below the groundline. Water seepage is assumed to be at steady state at this time step shown. At this time, the depth of the upstream pond (headwater) is 5 feet. The groundwater is at the same level as the ground on the downstream/tailwater side. The sand stratum thickness, where water is flowing, is 9 ft thick. The permeability of the sand, in the zone of the flow net, is k=42ft/day, the length of the dam (into the page) is 150 ft, and the unit weight of the sand is γsat=128 lb/ft3 (saturated unit weight of the soil). Use γw=62.4 pcf (unit weight of water) for your calculations, where necessary.What is the factor of safety against a quick condition?

Design a horizontal flow baffle channel flocculator for a treatment plant of 10000 m³/day capacity. The flocculation basin is to be divided into 3 sections of equal volume, each section having constant velocity gradients of 50, 35, 25s-¹, respectively. The total flocculation time is to be 21 min and the water temperature is 15° C. The timber baffles have a roughness coefficient of 0.3. A common wall is shared between the flocculation sedimentation basins, hence the length of the flocculators is fixed at 10m. A depth of 1m is reasonable for horizontal flow flocculators.
