Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A soil has a permeability of 0.05 cm/sec. If the hydraulic gradient is measured at 3, what is the flow velocity? What does this say about the potential for water movement?
💡 Hint: Use the Darcy's Law formula to find v.
Question 2
How would you approach engineering design if you have clay with typical permeability of 10^-9 cm/sec? Consider drainage solutions.
💡 Hint: Think about how water pools need to be addressed in your design.
