Rapid Drawdown Analysis using the Finite Element Method

Rapid drawdown (RDD) occurs when the water level adjacent to a slope or embankment is lowered quickly after a long period of being elevated either at the normal operating level for a dam or in the case of levees, during a prolonged flood. The current state of practice for RDD analysis is a multi-st...
