Q-4: A flow net for flow around a single row of sheet piles in a permeable soil layer is shown in the
following figure. The water level rose to 5.4 m above the ground surface in the peizometer installed at point
a. Given that kx-kk- 4.5 x 10-³ cm/sec, determine
i) Depth of upstream water level, H1
ii) How high (above the ground surface) the water will rise if piezometers are placed at points b and
iii) The total rate of seepage through the permeable layer per unit length
iv) The approximate average hydraulic gradient at c
