Effective/Equivalent Radius method (CIRIA Report-C113 & C115))
Length of excavation A = 50.00 m
Width of excavation B = 40.00 m
Perimeter of Plot P = 180.00
k*π*(H²-hw²)
Total combined discharge Q = m³/s
ln(Ro/re)
Permeability k = 4.90E-05 m/s
Water level WL = 3.50 m BGL
Maximum excav. level Max Ex. = 7.50 m BGL
Drawdown required in equivalent well (Plus 1m FOS) h = 5.00 m
Height of water table to bottom of permeable layer H = 10.00 m (Estimated)
Water height in equivlnt well above impermeable layer (H-h) hw = 5.00 m
Step 1: Equivalent well radius (re)-CIRIA C515, Equation-6.5(For Rectangular plot)
a+b
re = m
π
re = 28.65 m
`
Step :2 Radius of Influence (As per CIRIA 113-Heading 10, Table No: 11)
C = 3000 For Radial Flow for Pumped Wells
C = 1500-2000 for Line flow(trenches)
Ro = 3000*(H-hw)*√k m
Ro = 105.00 m
Step 3: Steady state Seepage/Flow ((Unconfined Aquifer)-Case 7-Full penetration-Case 7)
k*π*(H²-hw²)
Qtotal = m3/s
ln(Ro/re)
Q = 0.009 m3/s
Q = 32.00 m3/hr
Qtotal = 8.89 lps
During initial drawdown, flow can be twice that of steady state Q.
Step 4: Well Yeild Calculation-By taking flow of single Deepwell Into consideration CIRIA 113-Clause 6.3.2
Individual well yield(CIRIA-Clause 6.3.4 Eq.(6.15) qsingle = 2.π.[Link].k.i m³/s
Wetted length of well screen (Assumed) lw = 3.50 m
Drilled well borehole radius r = 0.300 m
Aquifer Permeability k = 4.90E-05 m/s
Hydraulic gradient at entry to the well (CIRIA-Clause 6.3.4,
Figure 6.15) i = 6.00 (if k<2.3E-4)
Step 5: Yield Per Well
Yield Per Well qsingle = 2.π.[Link].k.i m³/s
= 1.94 l/s
qsingle = 6.98 m3/hr
Step 6: Number Of Wells Required to Dry the Area
Number of Deepwells Ndw = Q/q
= 5.00 Nos
Considering Factor of Safety 1.2 for Variations in soil condition & pump breakdowns & margin of errors
= 6.00 Wells
Spacing Between Deepwells (As per CIRIA 113, Spacing must be Between = 30.00 Ok
10m to 30m, as per site condition)
