Transcribed Image Text:Figure 3.1 shows the flow net generated representing the
seepage under a dam. The length of the dam
perpendicular to the plane of seepage is 450m, the soil is
isotropic with k=5.8x10-7m/s.
(а)
Determine the loss through seepage in cubic metres per
year.
(b)
Slip circle analyses of slopes can be in terms of total
stress or effective stress. Discuss the difference between
each of these analyses and when each one is most
appropriate.
