The flow net below is a cross section through an excavation held open by a sheet pile walls. The subsurface is composed of isotropic fine sand with K=1m/d except for a 1?m thick layer of distinct material between 5.4m and 4.4m depth on the left of the excavation. A few equipotentials (in m ) are labeled on the figure. Assume a scale of 1cm=1m and a porosity of n=0.3 everywhere. 3) 1 point. What is the magnitude of the specific discharge at point A ? qA?= in m/d?? 4) 1 point. What is the hydraulic head measured by piezometer B ? hB?= in m 5) 1 point. Indicate the water level in piezometer B on the flow net. 6) 1 point. If the excavation is 5m long (into the page), at what rate does water enter the excavation from the right side? Rate of inflow from right = in m3/d 7) 1 point. If the excavation is 5m long (into the page), at what rate does water enter the excavation from the left side? Rate of inflow from left = in m3/d 8) 3 points. How much time is required for water to travel from the surface to point C ? Time = in days 9) 3 points. What is the value of the hydraulic conductivity in the 1-m thick layer of distinct material between 5.4m and 4.4m on the left of the excavation? K= in m/d
