Calculate the time required for a drop of head from 25 to 12cm if the cross-sectional area of the stand pipe is 2cm?. The sample of soil is made of three layers. The thickness of the first layer from the top is 8cm and has a value of ki = 2 x 104 cm/s, the second layer of thickness 8 cm has k2 = 5 x 104 cm/s and the bottom layer of thickness 4cm has k3 = 7 x 104 cm/s. Assume that the flow is taking place perpendicular to the layers. Answer: t = 3771 s = 62.9 minutes

TNT N 351 9:33 K/s A project engineer receives a laboratory report with tests performed on a certain soil sample on a particular location. The engineer suspects that one of the measurements is in error. Are the engineer's suspicions correct? If so, Which of these values is wronq, and what should be its correct value? Given: *Unit weight of the sample = 18.4 kN/cu.m *Unit weight of solids= 26.1 kN/cu.m *water content= 40% *void ratio= 1.12 *degree of saturation= 95% the unit weight of the sample in incorrect, thus the correct value is 17.2 kN/ cu.m the unit weight of the solids is incorrect, thus the correct value is 25.2 kN/cu.m the water content is incorrect, thus the correct value is 42 % the void ratio is incorrect, thus the correct value is 0.112 the degree of saturation is incorrect, thus the correct value is 0.95 all of the results were correct, thus engineer suspicions are void.
