If the earth dam has a core central deeper than the floor, do we calculate with drawing lines under all basis of the earth dam or selected points and collected the results?
please provide me technic calculate total uplift pressure.
hi..uplift pressure distribution can be drawn by knowing the pressure head at various point from the numerical results obtained. This can be down first draw pressure head contour and identify the pressure line. Once know this pressure line (water table line i.e. seepage line) then the uplift is pressure head multiply with unit weight of water..ok all the best..

about pressure head you mean, I should take various points each line of the equipotential lines, because I have a pressure line above in an earth dam, I want to take the total uplift pressure beneath earth dam. that's means along the foundation. On the other hand, does the value of the total uplift pressure is sum or biggest result under an earth dam?
please can you explain more clearly or send me an example to understand you .
