Numerical Study of Unsaturated Expansive Soil Canal Slope Covered by Geo-Membrane

Article Preview

Abstract:

In view of the holes appearing in different areas of geo-membrane when the geo-membrane technology is applied to the unsaturated expansive soil canal slope, the VADOSE/W is used to analyze the pore-water pressure of the internal canal slope by changing the falling water level. The results show that the hole is nearer to the toe of slope, its effect on the whole seepage field is greater. The greater the rate is, the soil water content is greater.
