Evolution of permeability in earth dam cores made of compacted till

In zoned dams, it is expected that pore pressure is uniformly dissipated from the upstream to the downstream side of the core. Based on this hypothesis, the potential profile across the core in a steady state seepage flow is expected to be more or less linear and the equipotential lines should be di...
