Seepage analysis with Geo-slope software (Seep)
hey folks! I am using seep to analyze how the wave from seatides dissipate inland through a fill material of certain properties. I have two geometric versions of this problem setup. The first one is how the location looks like today, i.e. seatide fluctuating on one side and then a fill material throughout the secion (200 m long). No seepage is below -11 m. (average sea level is at 0). The other geometry I have is the same as above except that I have removed 80 m long fill material to a depth of -5 m at the waterfront. (0 meter is at average seawater level). This removal of soil resembles the buildings that will be placed there in the future. This means now that the water flows under the building in a fairly narrow cross section (6 m deep). After running a transient analysis on both these cases with water level rising and falling from the seatides, I see that the dissipation of wave inland varies significantly for these two cases. At 40 m inland the wave in case one is only 17% of it/s initial value. For the latter case, this wave at 40m is at 50%. I wish I could attach some photos to clarify better but can/t see attach button. Please let me know if you can help me understand the great difference in the results or if you can advice me to another forum that focuses more on this software. Throstur
