5. FLOWNETS DAN SEEPAGE
A. FLOWNETS (CONFINED)
• Confined: jika 4 boundary pada flownets diketahui:
– 2 boundary: equipotential lines
– 2 boundary: flow lines
A. FLOWNETS (CONFINED)
- Flow lines: a water particle will travel from upstream to downstream side in permeable soil medium
- Equipotential lines: potential head at all points is equal.

A. FLOWNETS (CONFINED)
- Equipotential lines intersect the flow lines at right angles
- The flow elements formed are approximate squares

(a)How high (above the ground surface) the water will rise if piezometers are placed at points a, b, c dan d
From the figure : Nf = 3 dan Nd = 6
Potential drop between 2 equipotential lines: H/Nd = 10/6 = 1,667 m
Point a is located on equipotential line 1 Potential drop at a = 1 x 1,667 m
• Water in piezometer at point a will rise to an elevation of (15- 1,667) = 13,333 m above the ground surface.
Similary, the piezometer levels for:
• Point b = (15 - 2 x 1,667) = 11,67 m above the ground surface
• Point c = (15 - 5 x 1,667) = 6,67 m above the ground surface
• Point d = (15 - 5 x 1,667) = 6,67 m above the ground surface
(b) The rate of flow through flow channel II per unit length:
(c) Total rate of flow through all the channels per unit length Dq = k H

3. Draw net water pressure distribution at the sheet pile.
4,7 m 2,5 m
Total head at the water table (upstream) = 2,5 m (pressure head = 0; elevation head +2,50 m)
Total heal at the ground surface in front of sheet pile
(downstream equipotential) =0 (pressure head = 4,00 m; elevation head = -4,00m)
Nd = 12
Water pressure at both sides of sheet pile no. 1-7
example, at Surface 4, Total head behind the sheet pile:
Total heat in front of sheet pile:
Elevation heat at the surface 4 = -5,5 m Net pressure behind the sheet pile :
