Abstract: The inclination of flow lines at the exit on the downstream side of a hydraulic structure has been found for a known degree of anisotropy and a given direction for the principal permeability. An analytical procedure is ...

Abstract: The method-of-characteristics approach is used in general to find the ultimate bearing capacity of footings on soils whose cohesion is homogeneous and isotropic. In this technical note, the method is further developed and ...
