3. Figure below shows layers of soil in a tube that is 100mm x 100mm in cross section. Water is supplied at a constant head difference of 400 mm across the sample. The hydraulic conductivities of the soils in the direction of flow through them are as follows. k (cm/sec) 1X10-2 Porosity, n (%) 25 Soil A В ЗX10-3 32 4.9X10-4 22
(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.

A cylindrical soil sample with length = 15cm and diameter = 4cm was taken from a site where a groundwater contamination piume was found. The sample was tested in the lab to determine its hydraulic conductivity. A hydraulic gradient of 0.05 was applied across the sample, and a flow rate of 0.025 cm³/sec was measured. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the soil sample using Darcy's law.
For the soil specimen shown in figure ,calculate the soil permeability if rate of flow is 2 cc / min . Take area cross - section of soil specimen as 8 cm² .
Determine the volume of water flowing through the sample shown in the figure per hour. There are 3 different soil layers and each is 200mm in length and diameter is 150mm. A constant head of 470mm is maintained across the soil sample. The porosity for Soil I is 0.5 and the value of k is 5*10^-3 cm/s. The porosity for Soil II is 0.55 and the value of k is 4.2*10^-2 cm/s. The porosity for Soil III is 0.35 and the value of k is 3.69*10^-4 cm/s.
