Concept explainers

Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

Stop D: The High Level LRT bridge section (UTM 333280 5934116, NAD 83) Immediately west of the LRT bridge is an small cliff in which are displayed 6-7 m of fine-grained sediment that shows almost horizontal layers, believed to have formed in the last 8000 years. The exposure is parallel to the river, and is preserved from erosion and is accessible because and engineered berm has been constructed between the section and the river. At the top of the section one can see the remnants of a brickyard that operated at the site between 1898 and 1913. A huge flood destroyed the yard in 1915, giving a good impression of the magnitude of peak historic flooding and flows. Within the lower third of the cliff there is a conspicuous whitish layer, and several brown to red layers. Grains in the whitish layer have been dated using isotopes to between 7584- 7682 years before present. This age coincides with the eruption of Mount Mazama, a huge volcano that existed on the site of Crater Lake, Oregon.…

On soft ground, a 3.5 m high and 7 m wide embankment with a basal geotextile layer will be created. Calculate the needed geotextile strength and modulus to avoid block sliding on the geotextile. Assume a unit weight of 15 KN/m3 for the embankment material. The angle of shearing resistance is 33°, while the angle of shearing resistance at the geotextile-soil contact is one-third of that value.
