The early Babylonians constructed a canal that runs parallel to a river to irrigate their fields. The river and canal are 275.90 feet apart. The water surface elevation in the canal and river are at +1084.65 feet and +1021.35 feet respectively. A stratum of sand intersects both the river and the canal below their water levels. The sand is 6 feet, and is in between of impervious clay stratum. Calculate the canal's seepage loss in cubic feet per day-mile. Assume hydraulic conductivity of the sand to be 2.95 x (10)^-3 ft/sec.

2. A canal and a river run parallel an average of 250 feet apart. The elevation of the water surface in the canal is at +1050 feet and in the river at +1021 feet. A stratum of sand intersects both the river and the canal below their water levels. The sand is 6 feet, and is sandwiched between strata of impervious clay. Compute the seepage loss q from the canal in ft/day-mile if the permeability of the sand is 2(10)3 ft. / sec.

Your company has won a contract to provide and compact the fill material for an earth levee (an embankment built to prevent overflow of a river), with the dimensions shown below. The levee fill is a silty clay soil to be compacted to atleast 95.1% of maximum standard Proctor of dry unit weight= 109lb/cu.ft at an OMC of 18.6%. Your borrow pit has a silty clay with an in-situ moist density of 112.6lb/cu.ft at 18.1% water content and a Gs = 2.679. When the soil is excavated and loaded on to your trucks, the void ratio of the material is e = 1.46. Your trucks can haul 401 cu.ft of material per trip. DETERMINE THE FF AND SHOW COMPELETE SOLUTION. ALL FINAL ANSWER WILL BE IN 3 DECIMAL PLACES. 1. Determine the volume of fill required for the levee in cu.ft 2. Determine the volume required from the borrow pit in cu.ft 3. Determine the required number of truck loads.
