  • Reduction of soil suction limit (Psiunsat) leads to slower groundwater flow in unsaturated slope

    I am simulating the process of pipe burst induced groundwater flow in an unsaturated slope (see simplified sketch in Figure 1 below). According to the according to the k-function curve, a lower limit of soil suction will make the soil more permeable at…
  • cut off wall- earth dam

    Hi, I am having difficulties modelling the seepage in an earth dam enhanced with a cut off wall using Plaxis 2D. The cut off wall is made of plastic concrete and was introduced later as part of a maintenance procedure in order to prevent any potential…
