| Abstract | ||
| The problem of seepage under the floor of a pumping station is investigated here. The upstream and the downstream cracks assumed to occur between lining and the ends of the floor, i.e., L1= 0 and L2= 0. The floor is provided with two sheet piles of different depths at the two ends and it has a vertical rise. The pumping station is resting on a permeable layer of finite depth. Effects of the different sheet pile depths and location of the vertical rise on the piezometric head underneath the floor, exit gradients and seepage discharge have been analyzed using Finite Element Program and graphically represented in dimensionless charts. | ||
