Q2: A six-story building of area (30 m x 50 m) is proposed to be constructed in Baghdad. The net pressure (Aqnet) of the building is 70 kPa. The soil is brown to gray silty clay with a dry and submerged unit weight equal to 15 kN/m and 10 kN/m³ respectively. The water table level was found at a depth 1.0 m below ground surface. Determine the number, and depth of the boreholes.

A concrete dam retains water to a height of 9 m. It has rows of sheet piling at both heeland toe which extend half way down to an impervious stratum. From a flow net sketchedon a transformed section, it is found that there are four flow channels and sixteen headdrops. The average horizontal and vertical permeabilities of the soil are 6 × 10^–3 mm/sand 2 × 10^–3 mm/s, respectively. What is the seepage in cubic meter per day, if the lengthof the dam is 150 meters?
