Horizontal seepage failure model and experimental study of damaged sidewalls of seams between geotube dam tubes.

The impact of damaged sidewalls at the joints between tubes on dam structures subjected to horizontal seepage is investigated. First, an experimental scheme is designed to test the mode and critical gradient of seepage failure of the soil in the damaged tubes. The effects of various overburden press...
