The figure shows the layers of soil in a tube that is 100 mm x 100 mm in cross section. When supplied to maintain a constant head difference of 300 mm across the sample. The hydraulic conductivity of the soils in the direction to flow to them are as follows: Soil A = 2 x 10 ^ -2 cm/sec Soil B = 3 x 10 ^ -3 cm/sec Soil C = 4 x 10 ^ -4 cm/sec (See picture below) Find the equivalent hydraulic conductivity Find the hydraulic gradient Find the rate of water supply in cm3/hr.

A constant-head test was conducted on a sample of soil 15cm long and 60 cm^2 in cross-sectional area. The quantiities of water collected was 50 cm^3 in 20 seconds undera a head difference of 24 cm. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity. If the porosity of sand is 55%, calculate the average velocity and the seepage velocity. Estimate the hydraulic conductivity of a similar soil with a porosity of 35% from the results test. Please show all work!!

(e) A soil profile consists of a clay layer between layers of sand, the water table being in theupper sand layer. Before the construction of a raft foundation for a large reservoir, piezometers were placed in the saturated clay layer. The whole process of filling the reservoir may be approximated to applying rapidly a single pressure increment of 200 kPa uniformly throughout the clay layer. One year after filling the reservoir, the piezometers indicated a distribution of excess porewater pressure as indicated in Figure Q-e. Estimate the average degree of consolidation at this time.
