Effect of using grouted vertical barrier on seepage characteristics under small hydraulic structures

Control of Seepage in Multi-Layered Soil Under Headingup Structures Using Vertical and Inclined Sheet Piles

“…The effect of the soil layers thicknesses and characteristics on the seepage discharge, uplift force, and exit gradient is evaluated for vertical and inclined sheet piles at different locations and inclination angles. The numerical model is verified using experimental data from a previous research by Shousha et al [10].…”

“…VERIFICATION OF THE NUMERICAL MODELThe numerical model was verified by experimental observation performed in a previous study byShousha et al (2020) . 15 numerical runs have been performed to verify the numerical model.…”

“…The effect of the soil layers thicknesses and hydraulic conductivities on the efficiency of sheet piles is evaluated. The studied dimensions are selected to be the same as the experimental model by Shousha et al [10] to verify the model, as explained in the previous section. After the model's verification, it is applied to investigate various scenarios of soil layers thicknesses and hydraulic conductivities, and sheet piles locations and inclination angles.…”

“…The studied hydraulic structure was formed on a single homogeneous soil layer. Shousha et al [10] used an experimental sand tank model and SEEP/W numerical model to investigate the effect of using a grouted vertical barrier on the seepage characteristics under small hydraulic structures formed on a single layer of soil. Salmasi et al [11] used SEEP/W model to investigate the effect of double vertical cutoffs under hydraulic structures.…”

Influence of a Subsidiary Weir on the Stability of a Main Structure Built on a Finite Stratum

“…Previous studies [26,27] utilized this method to study the seepage underneath the foundation of the Diyala weir in Iraq, with a focus on identifying sheet pile defects resulting from corrosion. Another study [28] employed the finite element method to study the seepage flow under a dam featuring an inclined sheet pile, while [29] used the finite volume method to investigate the seepage under a concrete dam. In another study, ref.…”
