Upload NowIn 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 […]
How to Determine the Seepage Velocity of Soil? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
In 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 […]
