Evaluation of actual creep length under heading up structures aprons

Control of Seepage in Multi-Layered Soil Under Headingup Structures Using Vertical and Inclined Sheet Piles

“…One layer of homogenous isotropic soil and three vertical sheet piles under the structure were considered. El Molla et al [6] studied the head loss along vertical sheet piles fixed at the ends of a heading up structure's apron using SEEP2D model. Abdelaal et al [7] investigated the effect of using vertical sheet piles under the apron of a heading-up structure on the efficiency of the apron's horizontal length using SEEP2D for a single homogeneous soil layer.…”
