Use of Borehole Geophysical Methods in Determining in Situ Bulk Densities and Water Contents in Unconsolidated Materials: Final Report

Description: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to assess the capabilities of the WES geophysical downhole logging equipment for obtaining in situ bulk densities and water contents in unconsolidated materials, to establish a log analysis procedure applicable from one site to another, and to compare geophysically derived properties with those obtained from laboratory analysis of samples.

Levee Underseepage Analysis for Special Foundation Conditions

Description: This report describes a research study in which techniques were developed for prediction of underseepage conditions for special cases of levee and foundation geometry. The differential equations for levee underseepage were derived and programmed in finite difference form for three special cases of boundary conditions. The developed programs allow analyses that are not restricted to the boundary conditions assumed in the conventional, closed form solution, i.e., two foundation layers of uniform … more

Levee Underseepage Software: User Manual and Validation

Description: Report discussing the FORTRAN 77 computer program (LEVSEEP), developed to analyze levee underseepage on IBM PC compatible microcomputers with an 8087 math coprocessor. The software and associated equipment plots cross sections and piezometer data; calculates seepage flow and substratum pressure; analyzes landside berm, river side blanket, cutoff and relief well control measures; and finally, estimates the construction cost of these alternatives.
