Chapter 1
Basic characteristics of soils
1.1 Soil E consists of 98% coarse material (31% gravel size; 67% sand size) and 2% fines. It is classified as SW: well-graded gravelly SAND or, in greater detail, well-graded slightly silty very gravelly SAND. Soil F consists of 63% coarse material (2% gravel size; 61% sand size) and 37% non-plastic fines (i.e. between 35 and 65% fines); therefore, the soil is classified as MS: sandy SILT. Soil G consists of 73% fine material (i.e. between 65 and 100% fines) and 27% sand size. The liquid limit is 32 and the plasticity index is 8 (i.e. 32 24), plotting marginally below the A-line in the ML zone on the plasticity chart. Thus the classification is ML: SILT (M-SOIL) of low plasticity. (The plasticity chart is given in Figure 1.7.)

Basic characteristics of soils
Soil H consists of 99% fine material (58% clay size; 47% silt size). The liquid limit is 78 and the plasticity index is 47 (i.e. 78 31), plotting above the A-line in the CV zone on the plasticity chart. Thus the classification is CV: CLAY of very high plasticity.

In each case the bulk density () is equal to the mass of compacted soil divided by the volume of the mould. The corresponding value of dry density (d ) is obtained from Equation 1.24. The dry density–water content curve is plotted, from which wopt ¼ 15%

Equation 1.26, with A equal, in turn, to 0, 0.05 and 0.10, is used to calculate values of dry density (d0, d5, d10 respectively) for use in plotting the air content curves. The experimental values of w have been used in these calculations; however, any series of w values within the relevant range could be used. By inspection, the value of air content at maximum dry density is 3.5%.

2.2 The flow net is drawn in Figure Q2.2. In the flow net there are 3.7 flow channels and 11 equipotential drops, i.e. Nf ¼ 3.7 and Nd ¼ 11. The overall loss in total head is 4.00 m. The quantity of seepage is calculated by using Equation 2.16: Nf 3:7 ¼ 1:3 106 m3 =s per m q ¼ kh ¼ 106 4:00 11 Nd

The pore water pressure is determined at the points of intersection of the equipotentials with the base of the structure. The total head (h) at each point is obtained from the flow net. The elevation head (z) at each point on the base of the structure is 2.50 m. The calculations are tabulated below and the distribution of pressure (u) is plotted to scale in the figure. Point

2.6 The scale transformation factor in the x direction is given by Equation 2.21, i.e. pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi pffiffiffiffiffi 1:8 kz xt ¼ x pffiffiffiffiffi ¼ x pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ¼ 0:60x kx 5:0 Thus in the transformed section the horizontal dimension 33.00 m becomes (33.00 0.60), i.e. 19.80 m, and the slope 1:5 becomes 1:3. All dimensions in the vertical direction are unchanged. The transformed section is shown in Figure Q2.6 and the flow net is drawn as for the isotropic case. From the flow net, Nf ¼ 3.25 and Nd ¼ 12. The overall loss in total head is 14.00 m. The equivalent isotropic permeability applying to the transformed section is given by Equation 2.23, i.e. k0 ¼

Thus all dimensions in the x direction are multipled by 0.60. All dimensions in the z direction are unchanged. The transformed section is shown in Figure Q2.7.

The basic parabola is plotted in Figure Q2.7. The upstream correction is drawn using personal judgement. No downstream correction is required in this case since ¼ 180 . If required, the top flow line can be plotted back onto the natural section, the x coordinates above being divided by the scale transformation factor. The quantity of seepage can be calculated using Equation 2.33, i.e. q ¼ 2k0 x0 ¼ 2 4:5 106 2:0 ¼ 1:8 105 m3 =s per m 2.8 The flow net is drawn in Figure Q2.8, from which Nf ¼ 3.3 and Nd ¼ 7.

2.9 The two isotropic soil layers, each 5 m thick, can be considered as a single homogeneous anisotropic layer of thickness 10 m in which the coefficients of permeability in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, are given by Equations 2.24 and 2.25, i.e. kx ¼ kz ¼

Then the scale transformation factor is given by pffiffiffiffiffi pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi kz 3:6 xt ¼ x pffiffiffiffiffi ¼ x pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ¼ 0:63x 9:0 kx Thus in the transformed section the dimension 10.00 m becomes 6.30 m; vertical dimensions are unchanged. The transformed section is shown in Figure Q2.9 and the flow net is drawn as for a single isotropic layer. From the flow net, Nf ¼ 5.6 and Nd ¼ 11. The overall loss in total head is 3.50 m.
