A 1.25 m layer of soil having the porosity 0.35 and specific gravity 2.65 is subjected to an upward seepage head of 1.85 m. What depth of coarse sand would be required above the existing soil to provide a factor of safety of 2 against piping? Assume that coarse sand has the same porosity and specific gravity as the soil and there is negligible head loss in sand.
