How do you model soil seepage and pore pressure?
Soil seepage and pore pressure are important factors that affect the stability and performance of civil engineering structures, such as dams, foundations, slopes, and tunnels. Seepage is the flow of water through the soil pores due to a hydraulic gradient, while pore pressure is the pressure exerted by the water on the soil grains. To model these phenomena, you need to understand the basic principles of soil mechanics, fluid mechanics, and numerical methods. In this article, you will learn how to apply these principles to model soil seepage and pore pressure using different tools and techniques.
