A concrete dam of 17.5 m base width retains 5 m of water. A sheet pile cut off is provided at the upstream end of the base of the dam up to a depth of 8m. The base of the dam is 1.5 m below ground surface and the pervious foundation extends to a depth of 14m, below which is an impervious stratum. Draw the flow net and compute the seepage flow below the dam per metre length of the dam, if the coefficient of permeability is 2 x 10-3 cm/s. Compute the uplift pressure along the base of the dam and the exit gradient.
