A rock storage pile is being designed for a mine in West Virginia. The pile is linedwith reinforced GCL overlain by a 1.5 mm thick HDPE geomembrane. A heavy nonwoven geotextile is placed on top of the geomembrane. Because the rock is porous(K = 10-2cm/s), it is used as the main LCS stone and no additional leachate collectionstone is being installed. Specify the base slope required to keep the head below 25cm if the design storm is 0.8 cm rain/day and the pipe-to-pipe lateral spacing is 60 mIs this rock a reasonable material to replace the LCS stone?
A flow net for seepage under a sheet pile wall has n₁= 4, n=8 and the permeabilities of the soil in the horizontal and vertical directions are: K₁ = 8 x 10-¹5 m/sec and K₁=2x10-5 m/sec. If the head loss through the soil is 2 m, the quantity of seepage per meter length of the wall will be
