Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

Problem 2: Liquefaction
Consider a concrete wall, 8.0 ft tall and 42 ft wide, forming one side of the basement in a
residential structure. Viewed from the outside, 7.0 ft of the wall is below grade. The surrounding
soil is clean sand, saturated with water, with a saturated density of p=2,124 kg/m3³. During an
earthquake, the surrounding soil liquefies (i.e., its shear strength drops to zero, making a fluid).
Part A
Sketch this situation.
Part B
Is the viscosity of the liquefied soil greater of less than that of water at the same temperature, and
why? (greater or less, plus <10 word explanation)
Part C
What is the magnitude of the hydrostatic resultant force from the liquefied soil? [N]
Part D
What is the location of the resultant force, measured from the top of the wall? [m]
