Soil Mechanics – Flow Net & Flow Rate Concept for Dams | Seepage Analysis | Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets
[GEO-2025-0137] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi
We are excited to introduce the Flow Net & Flow Rate Concept spreadsheet pack for dams, part of the Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets (2025-1) collection. This set includes 8 essential spreadsheets designed for soil mechanics professionals and students to analyze and calculate flow net and flow rate beneath concrete dams, with a focus on seepage analysis through soil at an angle α to the horizontal.
These spreadsheets provide detailed calculations and analysis for flow channels, potential drops, and the flow rate formula beneath a concrete dam, along with Darcy’s Law applications in various soil sections (circle, rectangle, and square).
What’s Included in the 8 Spreadsheets?
- Start: GEOtExcel: Flow Net Concept & Calculation – Introduction to the flow net concept and seepage analysis.
- Flow Net-Dam-01: Flow Channels and Potential Drops Beneath a Concrete Dam – Layout 1.
- Flow Net-Dam-02: Flow Channels and Potential Drops Beneath a Concrete Dam – Layout 2.
- Darcy’s law-Circle: Seepage through soil at an angle α to the horizontal – Circular section analysis using Darcy’s Law.
- Darcy’s law-Rectangle: Seepage through soil at an angle α to the horizontal – Rectangular section analysis using Darcy’s Law.
- Darcy’s law-Square: Seepage through soil at an angle α to the horizontal – Square section analysis using Darcy’s Law.
- Formula Concept: Flow Rate Calculation Beneath a Concrete Dam – Formula concept and calculation for seepage through soil.
- Concept Conclusion: Flow Rate Calculation Beneath a Concrete Dam – Concept conclusion and summary of results.
Applications in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering:
- Seepage Analysis: Understand seepage through soil beneath concrete dams, considering flow at an angle α to the horizontal.
- Flow Rate Calculations: Accurately calculate flow rate for soil water movement beneath a dam using Darcy’s Law.
