THE FINITE ELEMENT MODEL OF LEAKAGE PHENOMENA UNDER THE SOIL DAMS

Dams can store billions and billions m3 of water in their reservoirs. So leakage phenomenon which threats the stabilitiy of building sould be well examined. In this paper, flow that occurs in the dam's body and at the bottom of dam as a result of leaking water from the earth filled dam's r...

description Dams can store billions and billions m3 of water in their reservoirs. So leakage phenomenon which threats the stabilitiy of building sould be well examined. In this paper, flow that occurs in the dam's body and at the bottom of dam as a result of leaking water from the earth filled dam's reservoir is examined numericaly. For this purpose, the finite elements model of the phenomenon has been set up with the help of a computer program, the mathematical equation for whole area was calculated, velocity and potential distribution of the flow in the dam's body and at the bottom were obtained. The values of pore water and leak pressure which were previously calculated by graphical method and hand drown flow net can be obtained more precisely by the use of velocity and potential valves obtained by finite element method which is used in this study.
