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.

A dam includes a sheet pile "cut off" wall near the toe, installed to 7 ft below the groundline. Water seepage is assumed to be at steady state at this time step shown. At this time, the depth of the upstream pond (headwater) is 5 feet. The groundwater is at the same level as the ground on the downstream/tailwater side. The sand stratum thickness, where water is flowing, is 9 ft thick. The permeability of the sand, in the zone of the flow net, is k=42ft/day, the length of the dam (into the page) is 150 ft, and the unit weight of the sand is γsat=128 lb/ft3 (saturated unit weight of the soil). Use γw=62.4 pcf (unit weight of water) for your calculations, where necessary.What is the factor of safety against a quick condition?
