The groundwater is 2 m below ground level outside the excavation. The groundwater level inside the excavation is at the bottom. The void ratio of the silty clay is 0.62 and its specific gravity is 2.7. What is the limiting, depth of the exeavation to avoid heaving?

A cofferdam is a temporary enclosure consisting of long, slender elements of steel, concrete, or timber members to support the sides of the enclosure. After construction of the cofferdam, the water within it will be pumped out. Determine; a) the flow rate using k=1x10" cm/s and b) the factor of safety against piping.
