Synopsis

Practical methods for solving seepage and drainage problems are described in this book. Part I addresses permeability and seepage fundamentals, and includes instructions, with step-by-step examples, for flow net construction. Part II presents typical seepage analyses and drainage designs for earth dams and levees; foundation dewatering and stabilization by drainage; slope improvement by drainage; drainage of roads, airfields, and other surface facilities; and the improvement of miscellaneous structures by drainage. The book reviews the performance records of projects with water problems in many countries, and presents new ideas on seepage and drainage that have been developed by researchers and others around the world. The previous edition of this book was published in 1977. The text is aimed specifically at students and practitioners of civil engineering.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

The definitive practical guide to understanding and solving seepage and drainage problems.

Now in its third edition, this unique resource offers simple methods for analyzing and designing seepage and groundwater control systems for all major types of civil engineering works. Complete with solid coverage of seepage principles and flow net construction, this book is an invaluable aid to engineering professionals and students in mastering this vital subject.

Seepage, Drainage, and Flow Nets, Third Edition, features:

• Clear explanations of Darcy′s law, permeability, and other core concepts.
• Seepage analyses and drainage designs for earth dams, levees, foundations, earth slopes, roads, airfields, streets, parking lots, and more.
• Information on contemporary topics, including "wick" drains, "fin" drains, and the protection of groundwaters from contamination.
• An assessment of computer solutions to seepage and drainage problems.
• Over 100 examples of flow nets, ranging from the simple to the complex–accompanied by step–by–step instructions.
• Useful chapter references to facilitate further study.

Biographie de l'auteur
