Void Ratio given Total Pressure per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Void Ratio = (Degree of Saturation-(Total Pressure at given Point/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter)))/((Total Pressure at given Point/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter))-1)

Total Pressure per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Total Pressure at given Point = Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*((Degree of Saturation+Void Ratio)/(1+Void Ratio))

Saturation for Total Pressure per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Degree of Saturation = (Total Pressure*(1+Void Ratio)/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter))-Void Ratio

Length of Conduit given Neutral Stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Minimum Safe Length of Travel path = Height of Dam/((Neutral Stress/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter)-1))

Specific Gravity of Water given Neutral stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter = Neutral Stress/(Depth of Dam*(1+Height of Dam/Minimum Safe Length of Travel path))

Neutral Stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Neutral Stress = Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*(1+Height of Dam/Minimum Safe Length of Travel path)

Permeability given Hydraulic gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Coefficient of Permeability of Soil = (Discharge from Dam*Number of Beds)/(Head of Water*Equipotential Lines)

Equipotential Lines given discharge for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Head of Water = (Discharge from Dam*Number of Beds)/(Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Equipotential Lines)

Discharge given Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Discharge from Dam = Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Head of Water*Equipotential Lines/Number of Beds

Number of Beds given discharge for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Number of Beds = Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Head of Water*Equipotential Lines/Discharge from Dam

Velocity given Length of Conduit after using Area of Pipe in Discharge

Go Maximum Velocity = Material Coefficient*Head under Flow/Length of Pipe

Length of Conduit after using Area of Pipe in Discharge

Go Length of Pipe = Material Coefficient*Head under Flow/Maximum Velocity

Minimum Safe Length of Travel path under Dams on Soft or Porous Foundations

Go Minimum Safe Length of Travel path = New Material Coefficient C2*Head under Flow

Equipotential Lines given Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Equipotential Lines = Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss*Number of Beds

Number of Beds given Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Number of Beds = Equipotential Lines/Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss

Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss = Equipotential Lines/Number of Beds

Maximum Velocity given New Material Coefficient C 2 for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Maximum Velocity = Material Coefficient/New Material Coefficient C2

New Material Coefficient C2 for Dams on Soft or Porous Foundations

Go New Material Coefficient C2 = Material Coefficient/Maximum Velocity

Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations Formula

Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss = Equipotential Lines/Number of Beds
