I modeled a earth dam
I want to Simulation Rapid Drawdown of the earth dam at different rates with FLAC 2D software.
Who knows the FISH function or a way to do this simulation in FLAC2D software?
Mr.Alireza hope you will get answer from the file attached herewith. all the best..
Hello Alireza Rashiddel
To simulate rapid drawdown you need to know the pore pressure distribution before the drawdown begins. That is you need to do a seepage analysis of the downstream of the dam when it is full from which the top seepage line can be obtained. In the LEM (limit equilibrium method) the pore pressure on the trial slip circle need to be obtained via the usual procedure.
Subsequently the drawdown analysis will proceed in time increments stage by stage. The reservoir should be dewatered at the specified rate by reducing the reservoir level (dh) in a certain time increment. A new seepage analysis should be carried out to determine the seepage lines. Thereafter, another slope stability analysis should be conducted under the current conditions. Note that an error occurs in this method because as the soil unloads there will be an additional but small reduction of pore pressure due to soil expansion (reverse consolidation). This can be accounted for if the coefficient of reverse consolidation is known. (Cv = coefficient of consolidation).
It is very difficult you can use another software like SEEP 2D and Plaxis 2D. FLAC is very difficult and it needs to write the codes.
Best regards
Dear Mandana Bayat
Thank you for your reply but:
On 2018, I completed the project using the Fish language in FLAC software.
Please see this workshop:

I suggest learn FLAC2D-3D software !!
Warm Regards,

In my idea, upstream is transient. I think that you make a model with different levels water in upstream,rapid drawdown is very difficult for modeling. The simulation is near the real.

Dear Mandana Bayat
Wouldn't it be better to see the workshop first before discussing it?
If I wanted to Rapid Drawdown of the earth dam in another software, I would not ask this question in Researchgate. The purpose of my project was to model in FLAC; otherwise, it could be accomplished in other software programs very easily. Additionally, using the icon does not create an engineer, but you must code and program in order to comprehend the concept of calculations and numerical analysis.
