Underseepage and its Control: A Symposium: Design of Control Measures for Dams and Levees
Methods of controlling seepage and excessive hydrostatic pressures beneath dams and levees founded on deep strata of pervious sands are presented in this paper. Underseepage may be controlled by three basic procedures: (1) by blocking or impeding the flow from the riverside, (2) by intercepting and safely disposing of the seepage flow, and (3) by adding weight to the landside toe to protect against uplift and increase the path of seepage. A combination of these methods may be used.
