Abstract
Seepage through a triangular dam core is studied by the hodograph meth od. Core slope providing minimal seepage rate at prescribed head value and core cross-sectional area is found. A simple flow pattern involvi ng seepage face, constant head, and non-flow boundaries is assumed. Se epage through a cake of low permeable sediments deposited along the bo ttom of a channel is treated analogously. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Son s, Ltd.
