Full Description
This exam addresses seepage effects on the stability of slopes, focusing on how the movement of water through soil can affect its strength and stability. It examines the various forms of seepage and their implications.
Understanding seepage is vital as it can lead to an increase in pore water pressure, which, in turn, may compromise the stability of slopes. This knowledge is fundamental in both design and risk management strategies.
Assessment will involve the ability to explain the mechanics of seepage, analyze its implications for slope stability, and discuss engineering measures that mitigate its impact.
Candidates should also be prepared to consider case studies revealing the consequences of inadequate seepage control.
