1.Consider a 1000 acre residential area with a housing density of four dwellings per acre. Evaluate the peak hourly water use requirement.
2.A clay specimen, 1 in thick (drained on top and bottom), was tested in the laboratory. For a given load increment, the time for 50% consolidation was 5 min 20 sec. How long will it take for 50 % consolidation of a similar clay layer in the field that is 8.2 ft thick & drained on one side only?
