In this article we will discuss about the laplace equation for determining two-dimensional flow of soil elements. Consider a soil element of infinitesimally small size of dx and dz in X- and Z-directions, respectively, through which the flow is taking place, shown in Fig. 10.8. Consider unit length of the soil element in the Y-direction. […]
