Abstract
It is shown that mean pore pressure measured transversally through a rectangular domain in which groundwater flow is taking place from front to rear, the side boundaries being themselves streamlines, varies linearly from one sink (or source) to another provided such sinks or sources are located on the centerline of the domain, midway between the side faces. The computation of the mean pore pressure at any section is easily done. The specific application is to uplift evaluation in concrete dams, but the theorem applies to any problem governed by the Laplace theorem.
