Question
Consider the dam spillway shown below having an impervious sheet pile cutoff
Note: The elevation of the bottom of the spillway is 180.0 ft. The elevation of the top of the soil aquifier is 190 feet. The elevation of the bottom of the soil aquifier is 100 feet. The sheet piling is 45 feet long, and the sheet piling is 35 feet from the reservoir end of the spillway. The base of the spillway is 200 feet long
a) The coeficient of permeability for the soil aquifier is .001 ft/sec. Calculate the flow rate under the dam in ft^3/sec into the page
b) Plot the pore water pressure distribution along the base of the spillway
