Calculation of Earth-Rock Dam Seepage Based on Boundary Element Method with the Infinitely Deep Permeable Foundation

Abstract

The seepage analysis is an important part of the earth-rock dam design, it is often calculated by using finite element method. In the infinitely deep permeable foundation construction of the dam, foundation deep permeable layer, preferably using the boundary element method to calculate. In this paper, the boundary element method is used to establish the construction of earth-rock dams in the blanket impervious seepage calculation model in the infinitely deep permeable foundation, and verify the feasibility of the model and provide reference for designers.
