Seepage and Stability Analyses of Earth Dam Using Finite Element Method
TLDR
In this paper, the authors presented the results of seepage and stability analyses of the considered earth dam using finite element method and showed that increase in the Young's modulus of core and shell resulted in the decrease of the maximum crest displacement and the variation in angle of internal friction plays a vital role in fulfilment of the overall stability criteria.About:

Ahmed Mohammed Sami Al-Janabi,Abdul Halim Ghazali,Yousry Mahmoud Ghazaw,Haitham Abdulmohsin Afan,Nadhir Al-Ansari,Zaher Mundher Yaseen +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the seepage through earth-fill dams using physical, mathematical, and numerical models, and the results revealed that both mathematical calculations using L. Casagrande solutions and the SEEP/W numerical model have a plotted SEepage line compatible with the observed SEEPage line in the physical model.

Designing singular jet grouting column for sandy soils
TL;DR: In this article, the bearing capacity and settlement values of jet grouting columns with the same diameter in very loose and loose sandy soils were estimated by theoretical approaches and numerical analysis depending on the change in the length of the jet grout columns and soil relative densities, and those values were compared with each other.
