The Analysis about Seepage of the Bank Slope under the Cycle Rising and Drawdown of Reservoir Water Level

Abstract:

Bank slope seepage field is analyzed by saturated-unsaturated seepage theory under the three times cycle conditions of water level rising and drawdown . The pore water pressure distribution laws of the water level rising period, the stabilization period, the period of decline and decline stable period for every cycle are researched. The result shows soil near slope region is saturated easily after many rounds of water level rising and drawdown, and saturation region gradually increases. Soil phreatic line near slope falls fastly in the drawdown period, away from the slope, phreatic line declines slowly.
