Transcribed Image Text:The figure below shows layers of soil in a tube that is 100 mm x 100 mm in cross section. Water is
supplied to maintain a constant head difference of 400 mm across the sample. The hydraulic
conductivities of the soils in the direction of flow through them are as follows:
ст
k

32%
C
4.9 x 10-4
22%
a.) Calculate the equivalent k in cm/sec.

Transcribed Image Text:b.) Calculate the rate of water supply in cm/hr
c.) Calculate the seepage velocity through soil C in m/sec.
