Seepage and Pore Pressure in the Core of a Earth-and-Rockfill Dam

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

A numerical solution to the anisotropic seepage problem for an earth dam is examined. Results are presented for solution of the problem and analysis of the stability of an earth dam slope with due regard for the influence seepage anisotropy.
