Seepage and Soil Erosion Mechanics by Rizal L-man is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Soil mechanics is a branch of engineering that deals with stresses in soil. It emerged as a science in the 1920s due to the work of Terzaghi, who established principles of effective stress that form the basis of most soil calculations. These principles state that stress normal to a soil element equals the sum of intergranular stresses transmitted through water in the soil. Another important area is seepage. Upward seepage can cause erosion due to drag on soil particles and reduce effective stress, potential
