The coefficients of permeability of a soil in horizontal and vertical directions are 3.46 and 1.5 m/day respectively. The base length of a concrete dam resting in this soil is 100 m. When the flow net is developed for this soil with 1:25 scale factor in the vertical direction, the reduced base length of the dam will be
-
- 2.63 m
- 4.00 m
- 6.08 m
- 5.43 m
Correct Option: A
kx = 3.46 m/d
ky = 1.5 m/d
= 65.84 m
Apply scale factor of 1: 25
= 2.63 m | 25 |
