Failure of Hydraulic Structure (With Control) | Seepage Analysis | Soil Engineering
Article shared by : 
In this article we will discuss about the failure of hydraulic structure by piping along with its control measures. Failure of Hydraulic Structures by Piping: Hydraulic structures, such as weirs and dams, built on pervious foundations may fail by a phenomenon that is known as piping. There are two types of such piping failure. 1. […]
How to Determine Hydraulic Parameters from a Flow Net? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
Flow net is used to determine various hydraulic parameters needed for the stability analysis of hydraulic structures, as shown in the following subsections. 1. Determination of Discharge: The space between the two successive flow lines is known as a flow channel. The discharge is given by – q = KH Nf/Nd …(10.27) where k is […]
