Solution
• The sheet pile wall length is in direction perpendicular to the page
• The problem is two-dimensional flow
• LB is upstream equipotential line
• JK is downstream equipotential line
• BF, FJ, and MN is flow lines
• H = 7- 1.75 = 5.25 m, Nr = 4, Na = 8
= 5. 10-8. 5.25
= 13.125 + 10-8 m/sec/m length
q = kH
The difference in the total head is 5.25m and the Na = 8 so in each drop.
loose 5.25/8 = 0.656m
