Development of Transparent Soil Testing using Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence in the Study of Internal Erosion of Filters in Embankment Dams
A new ‘transparent soil permeameter’ has been developed to study the mechanisms occurring during internal erosion in filter materials for embankment dams. Internal erosion or suffusion is the process where fine particles are removed from a matrix of coarse grains by seepage of water, and which ultim...
