Abstract

An equivalent method that simulate drainage holes is adopted in the analysis of 3-D seepage field. The Initial Flow Method is applied in this paper to deal with the unconfined seepage problem. In this paper, the finite element model of a gravity dam project is established and the seepage field is analyzed.
