CVEN-5628 (3) Seepage and Slopes

Covers fundamental principles of seepage in soils under both saturated and unsaturated conditions and limit equilibrium solution to slope stability problems. The seepage effects on slope stability are analyzed in detail and both conventional slope stability method and the finite element technique are applied to solving the engineering problems. Department enforced prereqs., CVEN 3708 and 3718 or instructor consent required.
