EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF SHEET PILES DEPTH ON THE SEEPAGE WATER PRESSURE USING ANYSIS PROGRAM

Abstract

One of the primary factors that causes a hydraulic structure to fail or collapse is the issue of water seepage from beneath "concrete hydraulic structures" or via earthen hydraulic structures. Both the soil layer upon which the hydrological construction was constructed and the flood water imposed on by the difference in height upstream and downstream are potential reasons. One of the most efficient ways to prevent water seepage is to utilize concrete sheet piles underneath hydraulic concrete structures, according to earlier research. This study used the 2-d F.E. "model ANYSIS FLUENT LUNCHER 2020 R, program against water pressure and piping" phenomena in various scenarios, to assess the impact of sheet pile depth on seepage pressure. The outcomes were achieved by a drop in water pressure, which occurred while the sheet pile was located upstream and at a depth of 8 meters
