An Analysis of Two-Dimensional Steady Seepage Flow of Earth Dam Based on FEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Through project examples, this paper set up a two-dimensional finite element seepage flow model with the help of the Auto-BANK software, to solve the soakage line overflow points, seepage quantity and seepage gradient of the earth dam based on the basic equation of steady seepage flow of earth dam and definite conditions. It is found that this method can effectively calculate and analyse multi-media seepage flow field with complex boundaries.
