Upload NowIn laboratory or field experiments for the determination of permeability, usually the total cross-sectional area of the soil A is used for convenience. The velocity of water obtained using the total cross-sectional area of the soil is known as discharge velocity or superficial velocity. Since water flows only through voids and not through the total […]

Poncelet’s Construction for Earth Pressure | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss how by using Poncelet’s graphical solutions we can determine active and passive earth pressure. Poncelet (or Rebhan’s) Construction for Active Earth Pressure: Poncelet and Rebhan have independently given graphical solutions for determination of active earth pressure. The procedure for determination of active earth pressure in Rebhan’s or Poncelet graphical […]
