Europe 2011 Geotechnical Modelling Workshop

Please join us at our next training event taking place 30 May ‑ 1 June 2011, in Zurich, Switzerland!

At the workshop you can take advantage of the focused technical sessions on SLOPE/W, SEEP/W and SIGMA/W to sharpen your numerical modelling skills under the direction of GEO-SLOPE's expert engineering team.

Details of the Europe 2011 Geotechnical Modelling Workshop are available online, and space is limited to 30 participants, so register today!

Seepage Exit Gradients

Most Soil Mechanics text books present and discuss the concept of seepage exit gradients and state that the exit gradients should not be greater than 1.0. Applying this criteria to two-dimensional finite element seepage analyses requires an understanding as to the conditions for which the criteria was developed and the physical meaning of an exit gradient greater than unity (1.0).

Download and read the technical white paper, Seepage Exit Gradients, which discusses the background as to how the exit gradient criterion was developed, how this criterion should be viewed when interpreting 2D finite element seepage analyses and why computed exit gradients cannot always be taken at face value.
