EXPLICIT SOLUTIONS FOR SEEPAGE INFILTRATING INTO A POROUS EARTH DAM DUE TO PRECIPITATION

Steady two‐dimensional gravity‐driven seepage in homogeneous porous lumps is studied with the help of conformal mappings and boundary value problem technique. The Terzaghi flow pattern for a trapezoidal dam exposed to a heavy rainstorm is analysed. For a semi‐circular massif, the influence of imperv...

Zusammenfassung:Steady two‐dimensional gravity‐driven seepage in homogeneous porous lumps is studied with the help of conformal mappings and boundary value problem technique. The Terzaghi flow pattern for a trapezoidal dam exposed to a heavy rainstorm is analysed. For a semi‐circular massif, the influence of impervious bed inclination is studied. Recharge–discharge distributions, hinge points, gradients along the lump contour as well as the total flow rate exhibiting water–bearing capacity of the unit are found in explicit form. Generalizations for non‐isobaric boundary conditions are discussed.
