Q3 | A bridge pier is to be constructed in a river bed by constructing a cofferdam as shown in Figure below . A cofferdam is temporary enclosure consisting of | long, slender elements of steel, concrete, or timber members to support the sides of enclosure. After constructing the cofferdam, the water within it will be pumped out. Determine : (a) the flow net rate using k = 1×10* cm/sec . (b) the factor of safety against piping. The void ratio of the sand is 0.59and assume /=0.3 m. 3 m Top of sand 3 m 3 m
