Relief Well Systems for Dams and Levees on Previous Foundations. Model Investigation
Abstract
In 1940 the Mississippi River Commission with the approval of the Office, Chief of Engineers, initiated an investigation of the causes of and methods for controlling under seepage and sand boils along the Lower Mississippi River levees. As a part of this investigation the Waterways Experiment Station during the period 1940-1947 performed several model tests to study the phenomena of underseepage and its control by means of relief well systems.
