Introduction

Many introductory geotechnical engineering textbooks include an example explaining the scenario of water seepage through an embankment. It is, consequently, useful to model this case with SEEP/W, as most users will have an idea of what the solution should look like.

The objective of this example is to compare SEEP/W results with a familiar example scenario, as well as to illustrate the analysis of various scenarios by adding multiple analyses and simply changing boundary conditions and material properties.
