Number of Beds given Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Beds = Equipotential Lines/Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss
B = N/i
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Number of Beds - The Number of Beds is defined as the number of beds between each of the same potential drops.
Equipotential Lines - Equipotential Lines is defined as the number of lines with same potential drop.
Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss - Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Equipotential Lines: 4 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss: 2.02 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B = N/i --> 4/2.02
