Seepage-Based Factor of Safety Analysis Using 3D Groundwater Simulation Results

Abstract

The purpose of this Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) is to document techniques for computing Factors of Safety (FoS) for seepage-related soil instability of earthen structures, using the simulation results from a 3D, finite-element groundwater model
