Head given Hydraulic Gradient per unit Head for Dams on Soft Foundations Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head of Water = (Discharge from Dam)/(Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Equipotential Lines)
H_Water = (Q_t)/(k*N)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Head of Water - (Measured in Meter) - Head of Water is defined as the height of water columns.
Discharge from Dam - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge from Dam is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Coefficient of Permeability of Soil - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of Soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Equipotential Lines - Equipotential Lines is defined as the number of lines with same potential drop.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge from Dam: 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Permeability of Soil: 10 Centimeter per Second --> 0.1 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Equipotential Lines: 4 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_Water = (Q_t)/(k*N) --> (0.46)/(0.1*4)

Evaluating ... ...

H_Water = 1.15

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.15 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.15 Meter <-- Head of Water

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
