Laboratory Modeling of Critical Hydraulic Conditions for the Initiation of Piping
Seepage-related erosion is one of the predominant mechanisms responsible for incidents and failures of dams and levees. Current geotechnical engineering practice consists of comparing expected exit gradients with the critical gradient of the soil at the seepage exit point. The critical gradient is g...
