Flow rates are traditionally used for solving seepage problems in soils. In this paper, the method of fragments is presented as a good alternative for solving seepage problems. A user friendly and interactive computer program for the method of fragments has been developed. Several randomly selected problems are solved …
… cubic meters of water. It is an earthfill dam with silty, sandy gravel fill in the embankment. Excessive seepage of between 5,000–12,500 m3/day was observed during floods in 1993, and several sinkholes were noticed close to the upstream toe. Remedial work consisting of an upstream blanket and a cutoff trench wall was …
Seepage analysis is used to investigate the location dependence of fresh-water inputs and outputs in maintaining the depth of the fresh water over the saline water intruding from the sea in coastal aquifers in steady state conditions. Examples are given that show that maximum depths occur when the inputs are in the vic …
In this paper a 2D finite element model (SEEP2D) is implemented to study the actual head loss along the sheet piles fixed at the ends of an apron of a heading up structure. Different scenarios for the thickness of the pervious layer under the apron, the length of the apron and the depths of the upstream and downstream …
