Civil Engineering > GATE 2016 SET-2 > Uplift Pressure
Profile of a weir on permeable foundation is shown in figure I and an elementary profile of 'upstream pile only case' according to Khosla's theory is shown in figure II. The uplift pressure heads at key points Q, R and S are 3.14 m, 2.75 m and 0 m, respectively (refer figure II).
What is the uplift pressure head at point P downstream of the weir (junction of floor and pile as shown in the figure I)?
