Four typical crack coalescence modes were identified in this experiment, i. Based on the macroscopic statistical damage model, the coupling effect of seepage, stress, and initial fracture was considered comprehensively and the damage model of backfill with. Seepage pressure becomes exactly equal to the submerged weight of the soil through which the flow is taking place the effective pressure becomes zero, in this case, the soil with fewer cohesion losses all of its shear strength and soil particles move up in the direction of flow. But seepage analysis of rockfill dam subjected to water level fluctuation. With the seepage pressure increasing, the branch crack experiences unstable extension from stable propagation. Eventually a crack will form and every time the water table rises water will seep thru your floor.

It differs from fluid mechanics and solid mechanics in the sense that soils consist of a heterogeneous mixture of fluids usually air and water and particles usually clay, silt, sand, and gravel but soil may also contain organic solids and other matter. The interaction of multiple cracks makes the stress intensity factor at the crack tip larger than that of a single wing crack.
The seepage pressure is of great importance in analysis of the stability of excavations and slopes because it is responsible for the phenomenon known as boiling or piping. Hillel 1982 defined flux as the volume of water flowing through a unit crosssectional area per unit time l3l2t. However, if the water table is sloping or there is a perched water table as indicated in the accompanying sketch, then seepage will occur. The variations of crack coalescence patterns with injection time for different flaw angles are plotted in fig. Back pressure is when there is upstream flow pressure in the system.

For example, highspeed video cameras were used to study the failure process of precracked specimens and obtained the footage on the whole process from crack initiation and crack propagation to final failure 6, 7, 9. The set pressure of a relief device is the pressure at which the device operates. The initiation, propagation, coalescence and failure mode of brittle jointed rock mass influenced by fissure water pressure have always been studied as a hot issue in the society of rock mechanics and engineering.

The conclusion that the stress intensity factor ki at the crack cusp depended on seepage pressure, lateral stress and friction coefficient of rock cracks was drawn. Seepage analysis of rockfill dam subjected to water level. For steady state seepage, the seepage velocities are not varying with time. The seepage flow curve determined from the experiment is within the hydraulic pressure flow scope determined based on the maximum and minimum particle sizes. Study on the development and distribution rule of tensile. In this improved wing crack model, the water pressure was introduced as a variable, and the analytical stresscrack relationship considering the water. When soil specimen is subject to loading a pressure due to the water in voids acts opposite to the loading direction known as pore water pressure seepage pressure will develope, when flow of water occurs through the specimen, that is a seepage fo. W unit weight of water the seepage pressure acts in a direction at right angles to the equipotential lines see figure 1.
