Seepage through homogeneous earth dams provided with a vertical sheet pile and formed on impervious foundation

laboratory study of vertical and inclined sheet pile effects on seepage control and sand boiling phenomenon through alluvial foundation of hydraulic structures

so far, for an analysis of seepage under hydraulic structures much research has beenconducted in the form of numerical models. however, few field and laboratory workshave been performed to study the boiling phenomena for evaluating numerical models.throughout the present work, a laboratory model was built to simulate seepage and itscontrolling measures under sheet piles. the model consisted of ...

A Simple Method for Calculating the Seepage from Earth Dams with Clay Core

There are various evaluation methods available for the discharge rate passing from the body of dam 1) Analytical methods, 2) Numerical methods and 3) Experimental methods. In the initial stages of dam design, it is necessary to approximately calculate the seepage and board of the project. In this research, almost 600 geometric models have been considered for embankment dam with clay core which ...

Two and Three-Dimensional Seepage Analysis of Earth Dams Considering Horizontal Filter Blanket Effects (RESEARCH NOTE)

Optimal hydraulic structures profiles under uncertain seepage head

Most of the hydraulic structures are founded on permeable foundation. There is, however, no procedure to fix the basic barrage parameters, which are depth of sheet piles/cutoffs and the length and thickness of floor, in a cost-effective manner. Changes in hydrological and climatic factors may alter the design seepage head of the hydraulic structures. The variation in seepage head affects the do...

Analytical estimation of natural frequency in earth dams with respecting to the foundation effects

There are varieties of techniques for calculating natural frequency of the structures. Nevertheless, these equations are less developed in the geotechnical structures such as slopes, buttress group, dams, and retaining walls. In earth dams, with respecting to the dimensions and weight of dam, soil-structure interaction is of prime importance for finding seismic parameters including natural freq...
