Groundwater and Seepage

Description

This book aims primarily at providing the engineer with an organized and analytical approach to the solution of seepage problems and an understanding of the design and analysis of earth structures that impound water. It can be used for advanced courses in civil hydraulic, agricultural and foundation engineering, and will prove useful to consulting engineers. The book features coverage of previously unavailable Russian work, appendixes of concepts in advanced engineering mathematics, numerous worked-out and solved examples with over 200 problems of varying difficulty.
