Question
(a) A soil strata consists of 3 layers of thickness 1 m, 1.5 m and 2.0 m having the coefficient of permeability of $2 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{cm}/\text{s}$, $1.5 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{cm}/\text{s}$ and $3 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{cm}/\text{s}$ respectively. Estimate the average coefficient of permeability in the direction (i) parallel to the bedding plane (ii) normal to the bedding plane. 10
(b) What is a flow net ? Describe its properties and applications, also the different methods of its construction. 10
