< 18 Dams on Soft or Porous Foundations by Darcy’s law Calculators

Void Ratio given Total Pressure per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Void Ratio = (Degree of Saturation-(Total Pressure at given Point/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter)))/((Total Pressure at given Point/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter))-1)

Total Pressure per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Total Pressure at given Point = Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*((Degree of Saturation+Void Ratio)/(1+Void Ratio))

Saturation for Total Pressure per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Degree of Saturation = (Total Pressure*(1+Void Ratio)/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter))-Void Ratio

Length of Conduit given Neutral Stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Minimum Safe Length of Travel path = Height of Dam/((Neutral Stress/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter)-1))

Specific Gravity of Water given Neutral stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter = Neutral Stress/(Depth of Dam*(1+Height of Dam/Minimum Safe Length of Travel path))

Neutral Stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Neutral Stress = Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*(1+Height of Dam/Minimum Safe Length of Travel path)

Permeability given Hydraulic gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Coefficient of Permeability of Soil = (Discharge from Dam*Number of Beds)/(Head of Water*Equipotential Lines)

Equipotential Lines given discharge for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Head of Water = (Discharge from Dam*Number of Beds)/(Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Equipotential Lines)

Discharge given Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Discharge from Dam = Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Head of Water*Equipotential Lines/Number of Beds

Number of Beds given discharge for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Number of Beds = Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Head of Water*Equipotential Lines/Discharge from Dam

Velocity given Length of Conduit after using Area of Pipe in Discharge

Go Maximum Velocity = Material Coefficient*Head under Flow/Length of Pipe

Length of Conduit after using Area of Pipe in Discharge

Go Length of Pipe = Material Coefficient*Head under Flow/Maximum Velocity

Minimum Safe Length of Travel path under Dams on Soft or Porous Foundations

Go Minimum Safe Length of Travel path = New Material Coefficient C2*Head under Flow

Equipotential Lines given Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Equipotential Lines = Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss*Number of Beds

Number of Beds given Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Number of Beds = Equipotential Lines/Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss

Hydraulic Gradient per unit head for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss = Equipotential Lines/Number of Beds

Maximum Velocity given New Material Coefficient C 2 for Dams on Soft Foundations

Go Maximum Velocity = Material Coefficient/New Material Coefficient C2

New Material Coefficient C2 for Dams on Soft or Porous Foundations

Go New Material Coefficient C2 = Material Coefficient/Maximum Velocity

Minimum Safe Length of Travel path under Dams on Soft or Porous Foundations Formula

Minimum Safe Length of Travel path = New Material Coefficient C2*Head under Flow
L_n = C₂*H_f

What are Dams on Soft or Porous Foundations?

Constructed as a simple homogenous embankment of well compacted earth, earth dams are classified as Homogenous Earth Dams, Zoned Earth Dams and Diaphragm Dams. This type of dam is usually built on an impervious foundation such as solid rock or clay. The next type of Earth dam is Diaphragm Dam.
