Example 7): For the concrete dam shown find the uplift pressure at base of the dam.
Solution:
6. hp = ht - he
For point 1:
0.270.267*144ht =−= m
he = – 1.80 m
hp = 0.27 – (–1.80) = 2.07 m
u1 = 2.07 * 9.81 = 20.307 kN/m2
For point 7.5:
2.00.267*7.54ht =−= m
he = – 2.40 m
hp = 2.0 – (–2.40) = 4.40 m
u7.5 = 4.40 * 9.81 = 43.164 kN/m2
Example 8):
A river bed consists of a layer of sand 8.25m thick overlying impermeable rock; the
depth of water is 2.50 m. A long cofferdam 5.50m wide is formed by driving two lines
of sheet piling to a depth of 6.00m below the level of the river bed and excavation to a
depth of 2.00m below bed level is carried out within the cofferdam. The water level
within the cofferdam is kept at excavation level by pumping. If the flow of water into
the cofferdam is 0.25m3
/h per unit length, what is the coefficient of permeability of the
sand? What is the hydraulic gradient immediately below the excavated surface?
Solution:
The section and flow net appear in the above Figure. In the flow net there are 6.0 flow
channels and 10 equipotential drops.
The total head loss is 4.50 m. The coefficient of permeability is given by

Example 10):
A concrete dam has a base length of 8m and retains 5m of water. The water level on
the down stream side is at the ground level. Under the dam there exists an 8m thick
layer of anistropic permeable soil with the k values shown in Figure (a). Calculate the
flow rate under the dam in lit/day/m.

Therefore, the length of the transformed base is

The dam section must be redrawn according to the new scale, and then the flow nets can
be drawn as shown in Figure (b).
