Effect of fluctuation of water level on seepage flow in dikes

Controlling water in structures is always extremely important for civil engineering works, such as dam, dike, as well as land reclamation works. Uncontrolled water flow in structures, like uncontrolled seepage flow will cause a huge damage to the structures even structure failure. This project invol...

Description
Summary:Controlling water in structures is always extremely important for civil engineering works, such as dam, dike, as well as land reclamation works. Uncontrolled water flow in structures, like uncontrolled seepage flow will cause a huge damage to the structures even structure failure. This project involves computer simulation by using software Geostudio 2007 seep/w and studying the effect of maximum seepage velocity and water flux at seepage region under water fluctuation condition.
