Seepage Through Earth Dams with Internal Cut Off
https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6091-1701
Abstract Failure in earth dams mainly occurs due to seepage to the unprotected downstream face of the dam. Therefore, many precautions are taken into consideration to protect dams from this phenomenon. Construction horizontal, inclined, trapezoidal or pipe filters one of the dam protection methods. Cut off also can be constructed to minimize seepage discharge directed to the downstream face of the dam. Seepage through an earth dam with internal cut off is experimentally studied in the laboratory of Irrigation Engineering and Hydraulics Department, Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University, Egypt on a Hele-Shaw model. Effect each of the relative penetration depth (d/D) and the relative distance of cut off (X/$ D_{w} $) on both the relative drop in the total head upstream (∆H/H) and relative length of filter ($ L_{f} $/H) is studied. The pervious layer thickness beneath the dam is also studied to investigate its effect on the filter length and total seepage discharge. The optimum position of the cut off also is obtained from analysis of the experimental results. Experimental results are drawn in dimensionless form.
