Use Burdine's (1953) equation from the handout (the statistical capillary tube model equation with the values of b, r, and m assumed by Burdine) to mathematically derive a relationship for the hydraulic conductivity function that is based on the SWRC model of Brooks and Corey (1964).

- Question 2 A sluice gate controls flow in open channels. At sections 1 and 2, the flow is uniform and the pressure is hydrostatic. Neglecting bottom friction and atmospheric pressure, calculate the velocities V1 and V2, and the horizontal force, F, required to hold the gate if h1 = 6m, h2 = 1m, and b = 5m. h₁V₁ Sluice gate, width b Farrow_forwardQuestion 1 A pipeline 30 m long connects two tanks which have a difference of water level of 12 m. The first 10 m of pipeline from the upper tank is of 40 mm diameter and the next 20 m is of 60 mm diameter. At the change of section, a valve is fitted. Calculate the rate of flow when the valve is fully opened assuming that its resistance is negligible and that f for both pipes is 0.0054. In order to restrict the flow the valve is then partially closed. If k for the valve is now 5.6, find the percentage reduction in flow.

- Civil engineering quantities question Answer the question and at the end put notes on how a BOQ is constructed.arrow_forwardPlanning is underway for the construction of a new railway section between Stockholm and Uppsala as part of the "Fyra spår Uppsala" project. Your task is to carry out a preliminary slope stability analysis for a planned road underpass beneath the new railway. The analysis concerns the eastern slope at the underpass. The designed clay slope has a depth of 12.5 meters and a width of 27.0 meters. According to geotechnical investigations, the soil consists of homogeneous, overconsolidated clay with a saturated unit weight of 15 kN/m³ and an undrained shear strength of 35 kPa. The groundwater table is at ground level (0.0 m). According to Figure 1, the most critical slip surface is circular, with the center of rotation (point O) located 4.0 meters above the current ground surface (0.0 m). The slip surface intersects the ground at the toe of the slope and 6.0 meters east of the slope crest.

Water enters a reach of rectangular channel where y₁ = 0.5 m, b = 7.5 m, and Q = 20 m³/s (Figure P10.39). It is desired that a hydraulic jump occur upstream (location 2) of the sill and on the sill critical conditions exist (loca- tion 3). Other than across the jump, losses can be neglected. Determine the following: (a) Depths at locations 2 and 3 (b) Required height of the sill, h (c) Resultant force acting on the sill (d) Sketch the water surface and energy grade line. (e) Describe the nature and character of the jump. 1 2 3. harrow_forward
