SEEPTOOL — A remote demo for small scale seepage problems

Seepage or groundwater flow is an important phenomenon that must be well understood and controlled, particularly in the case of earth or rockfill dams. A teaching tool has been developed for use in Soil Mechanics classes which consists in a laboratory setup for seepage studies in small scale models of earth dams and other geotechnical structures. The equipment may also be accessed remotely using an IP camera. A complete demo will be performed during the Exhibition Session. The demo will be complemented by videos and numerical simulations.
