SSC SSC JE Civil 2025 Mock Test Series (Paper 1 & Paper 2) Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Seepage Analysis
An earthen embankment is founded on a previous foundation of finite depth. A flownet analysis gives 6 flow channels and 18 equipotential drops. Head of the water lost during seepage is 6 m. Coefficient of permeability of previous strata is 4 × 10-5 m/min. Seepage loss through embankment per metre length would be
1
0.3456 m3/day
2
0.1152 m3/day
3
0.0648 m3/day
4
0.0216 m3/day
