1. Consider the cross section shown below. Assuming that all soils are homogeneous and isotropic, construct a flow net. What is the estimated seepage rate through the embankment per foot of embankment?
2. Provide a free-body diagram of the earthen embankment (Soil Type 1) which shows the projected hydraulic pressure against the side of the embankment (assumed g = 62.4 pcf) as well as the uplift pressure along the bottom (use the flow net from question1).
