What is Seepage Pressure in Geotechnical Engineering?

Seepage Pressure Seepage pressure is a critical concept in soil mechanics, particularly when analyzing the behavior of saturated soils under the influence of water flow. It refers to the pressure exerted by water as it moves through soil pores, which can significantly affect the effective stress within the soil mass....

Lacey’s Silt Theory of Canals

Lacey’s Silt Theory of Canals According to what I know, Lacey’s silt theory is a method for designing irrigation canals that considers the interaction between water flow and sediment transport. It was developed by G. Lacey in the early 20th century. Lacey’s silt theory is based on the idea that...

Kennedy’s Silt Theory

Kennedy’s Silt Theory According to what I know, Kennedy’s Silt Theory states that the vertical eddies rising from the bed of an alluvial channel are responsible for keeping silt particles in suspension. The theory defines a critical velocity that will prevent silting or scouring. Kennedy’s equation relates the critical velocity to the...

Relation Between Duty, Delta, and Base Period

Relation Between Duty, Delta, and Base Period To understand the relation between duty, delta, and base period in the context of irrigation engineering, we can break it down step by step: The relationship between duty (D), delta (Δ), and base period (B) can be expressed as follows: If field area...

Short note on Strip footing

Strip Footing A strip footing, also known as a continuous footing, is a type of shallow foundation used to support a load-bearing wall or a line of columns. It is a long strip of concrete that extends the entire length of the wall and spreads the load over a larger...
