Boundaries of flow change in an array of structures with an inclined slope

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to substantiate an effective technology for the use of reinforced soil in hydraulic engineering facilities. The main task is to develop calculation methods and compare them with the results of model studies. The article uses methods of physical modeling of structures made of reinforced soil. It develops the theoretical foundations of modeling by introducing the obtained data on full-scale structures. The values of the dimensionless coefficients and the corresponding hydraulic gradients for various times are given in the tabular form, which is convenient for calculating operational parameters. To clarify the change in the boundary of the filtration flow over time, experiments were carried out in a slotted tray. The article graphically depicts the results of theoretical studies and experiments; the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental curves for changing the boundary of the filtration flow over time is no more than 4%.
