Civil Engineering

1. A soil has Horton infiltration parameters f0 = 110 mm/h, fc =20 mm/h, and k = 1.8 h−1.

a. Compute the total infiltration and runoff from a storm with anintensity of 15 mm/h and a duration of 2 hours.

b. Suppose the intensity is i = 90 mm/h. One of your groupmembers (not you) computes the ponding time t by setting theinfiltration capacity to the intensity and solving for t; that is,your teammate obtained t from the Horton equation. Explain why thisapproach is wrong.

c. Compute the total infiltration and runoff from a storm with anintensity of 90 mm/h and a duration of 2 hours.

d. A bumbling, but observant professor, computed a totalinfiltration of about 98 mm for part d. Why did she question thisresult?
