PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS OF SEEPAGE

摘要: A method was developed for the analysis of seepage through nonhomogeneous soil deposits. The layers pervious soils in deposit were considered as inclusions within a medium much lower permeability. locations and dimensions assumed to be random variables. Field studies excavations provided basis statistical representation inclusions. Data obtained from Mississippi River alluvium fluvial glacial deposits interpreted by means model. results used compute at Port Allen Lock excavation Granville Dam. computed is right order magnitude when compared with measured seepage.
