Khosla's Theory Example (2.6): H.W. An impervious floor of a weir on permeable soil is 16 m long and has sheet piles at both the ends. The upstream pile is 4 m deep and the downstream pile is 5m deep. The weir creates a net head of 2.5 m. Neglecting the thickness of the weir floor, calculate the uplift pressures at the junction of the inner faces of the pile with the weir floor, by using Khosla's theory
