Abstract EN
This research describes the seepage characteristics of experimental model test of dam with cutoff located at different region (at dam heel, at mid floor of dam, and at dam toe).
It is resting on sandy soil with cavity at different locations in X and Y directions (such as in Al-Najaf soil city).
Thirty three model tests are performed in laboratory by using steel box to estimate the quantity of the seepage and flow lines direction.
It was concluded that the best location of the cutoff wall is at the dam toe for model test with cavity ( XcB= 0 and 0.5), but for model test with cavity ( XcB≥1), the best location of the sheet pile wall becomes at the dam heel.
For negative location of the cavity, the best location of the sheet pile wall is at the middle of the floor dam.
