SUMMARY
The discussion centers on determining the pore pressure at a specific point in soil seepage analysis. The participant expresses confusion regarding the calculation of Nd, questioning its possible values and the precise location for measuring pore pressure. It is concluded that Nd should be a whole number, indicating that the value of 5.5 is incorrect. Clarification on the exact location for pore pressure measurement is sought to resolve the misunderstanding.
