About this document
Nano-Clay Impact on Earth Dam Seepage by Priya Rajan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes an experimental and numerical study on the effect of nano-clay on seepage rates in earth dams. In laboratory experiments, the researchers constructed physical models of homogeneous earth dams with an impermeable sandy soil blanket containing 0-1% montmorillonite nano-clay on the upstream side. Adding more nano-clay significantly reduced seepage discharge and stabilized the phreatic line. A numerical model in SEEP/W validated the experimental results. Sensitivity analysis found that t
