Seepage Finite Element Analysis Program
Both SMAP-W2 and SMAP-W3 are advanced finite element computer programs developed for the nonlinear
seepage analysis.
SMAP-W2 is for 2-dimensional and SMAP-W3 for 3-dimensional analysis.
The programs have been applied to various types of seepage problems.
Features
-
Isoparametric continuum element
Models unsaturated and saturated soils and rocks.
Allows nonlinear hydraulic conductivities and water capacities
with consideration of analytical models of van Genuchten and
Fredlund and Xing as well as user specified tables.
-
Earth dam mesh generator
Builds finite element meshes for the typical earth dams
including cores and cut-off walls.
-
Boundary conditions
Prescribed total head or pressure
Prescribed water flow
Potential seepage face
-
Water generating sources
-
Relaxation method for convergence of solution during iteration
Applications
- Ground water management
- Construction dewatering
- Contaminant transport
- Slope stability and earth dam safety
