The present set-up is designed to study the flow through permeable media.
This apparatus consists of a tank whose bed is made from Stainless Steel.
The sides of the tanks are supported and sealed so that it allows free
access to the interior. One side of the tank is of Toughened glass to give
good scratch free visibility over a long period of use and minimum sight
obstruction. Second side is of Stainless Steel and required pressure tapings
are mounted on the same. Both ends of the tank are made of Stainless Steel.
The tank has two
adjustable overflows close to the each end so that constant head of water
can be maintained in each half of the tank. These may be lowered to a
position close to the bed of the tank for some experiments to provide sub
soil drainage. Present set-up is self-contained water circulating unit with
sump tank, Pump, flow control valve etc.
EXPERIMENTATIONS:
-
To study the seepage
through an earth dam.
-
To study the control
of Seepage through permeable soils by sub-soil drainage.
-
Stability of an earth
dam.
UTILITIES REQUIRED:
-
Water supply
-
Laboratory Drain.
-
Electricity Supply
