Abstract

Based on geological information of the dam of the Dushan Reservoir in Anhui Province,the seepage model is established by using finite element method (FEM).The positions of soakage line overflow points,the seepage quantity and seepage gradient are to be calculated.The results show that it is feasible for calculating seepage flow of earth-rock dam by using FEM.
