Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

24.

In a fow net

flow lines and equipotential lines cross each other at right angles

fields are rectangles whose length is twice the breadth

smaller the dimensions of the field, smaller will be the hydraulic gradient and velocity of flow through it

for homogeneous soil, the curves are smooth and circular.
