Soil Mechanics – Flow Net Calculation for Dams | Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets

[GEO-2025-0136] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi

We are pleased to introduce the Flow Net Calculation for Dams spreadsheet pack, part of the Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets (2025-1) collection. This set includes 5 powerful spreadsheets designed for soil mechanics professionals, geotechnical engineers, and students looking to analyze flow channels, potential drops, and piezometer configurations beneath concrete dams.

The pack provides detailed calculations for seepage and flow in the soil under the dam, using the flow net method to model the groundwater flow patterns.

What’s Included in the 5 Spreadsheets?

  1. Start: GEOtExcel: Flow Net Concept & Calculation – Introduction sheet to the flow net concept.
  2. Flow Net 01: Flow channels and potential drops beneath a concrete dam — An example of seepage and flow patterns.
  3. Flow Net 02: Flow channels and potential drops beneath a concrete dam, incorporating fixed piezometers to measure pressure.
  4. Flow Net 03: Flow channels and potential drops beneath a concrete dam
  5. Flow Net 04: Zoomed layout of flow channels and potential drops beneath a concrete dam for a more detailed view.

Applications in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering:

  • Flow Net Analysis: Model and analyze flow channels and piezometer readings in soil beneath concrete dams.
  • Seepage & Flow Patterns: Understand seepage and groundwater flow beneath dams for design and construction purposes.
  • Fixed and Movable Piezometers: Learn how to use fixed and movable piezometers to measure pressure and flow beneath structures.
  • Dam Design & Safety: Essential for dam design, seepage control, and ensuring structural safety of dams.
  • Educational Use: A practical tool for soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering courses.
