Seepage forces and confining pressure effects on piping erosion
An experimental study of piping erosion is presented. Various artificial granular filter and soil combinations are tested in a permeameter under variable confining pressures to determine the critical gradient where soil erodes through the filter. Previous research concentrated on establishing a g...
