Modeling an infiltration trench in SEEP/W
Hi! I'm working with SEEP/W with a student licence, trying to model an infiltration trench used as BMP to reduce stormwater runoff, but I have some doubts: I'm not sure about the correct BC for my problem, in particoular if I should use the "potential seepage face review" along the sides of the trench or not; I don't…

Geostudio V.S. ABAQUS Results Comparation in CK0DC Condition
Dear all, I'm using the ABAQUS 6.14-4 and Geostudio 2022.1 to simulate the CK0DC test (Drained triaxial compression test on K0 consolidated clay), the soil material model is MCC (Modified Cam-clay), and the model parameters keep the same in two applications. The main purpose is to see if it's the same as the stress-strain…

SEEP/W AND SLOPE/W
Hello everyone.. Thank you for this program that allows us to help in various ways.. I have a three-part question: First, what are the implications of (X AND O) that appeared on the dam after the analysis?? Second: How can I draw and represent the safety factor over time on Chart form?? Third: How can we enter daily…

The programming capabilities of Geostudio
Hello everyone. May I ask a question that is related to the programming capabilities of Geostudio? As we know, Python is the built-in programming language in ABAQUS, which supports users to do the following: 1.create and modify the components of an Abaqus model, such as parts, materials, loads and stages; 2.create, modify…

Problem with lateral (X) displacement in QUAKE/W Dynamic analysis
Hello everyone, I have had problems with the lateral displacement on my dynamic analysis models, they continue to grow from a certain point in the seismic record to unrealistic values such as tens or hundreds of meters. I have modifed the material properties and the seismic records, where the problem still exists. I used…

Thousand Simulations slope/w and seep/w
Hi, I have a levee model that uses slope/w and seep/w for transient analysis. I aim to employ this model in studying the response to 1000 different hydrographs (representing various hydraulic load conditions). While I have researched for information on this, my current understanding is the use of PEST for parameter…

SEEP/W - converting radial flow/discharge to an equivalent plane flow/discharge
Hello, I would like to model an abstraction and injection well using the SEEP 2D cross-section model. The wells in real life pump at 20m3/hr. However, when I specify a total water rate of 20 m3/hr in the model, I get a lot more drawdown and mounding compared to what I observe or model using a simple analytical equation. I…

What is the difference between xy-shear stress and Max. shear stress?
I must calculate shear stresses at different time instants in QUAKE/W. There are two options to calculate shear stresses. 1. Under total stresses, there is an option called xy-shear stress and 2. under shear stresses, max. shear stresses. The results of both for a particular node are different. What are the calculation…

Vertical exaggeration in Seep/W
Hello everyone, I am working on a model that is roughly 10km wide but only covers 200m in height. After constructing the mesh, I vertically exaggerated the model by factor 15 before running it, to make adjustments and visualisation easier. Now the questions came up, if the vertical exaggeration is purely optical in nature…

Different factors of safety
Hi there, I have problem with slope stability calculations of tailing dam. I carried out the calculation with the use of different methods and I got the resulting factor of safety as follows: 1.74 for Morgenstern-Price method 1.51 for stress based method 1.4 for strength reduction method Why theses results are so different…

Far Field Boundary Conditions in SEEP/W
I am performing a seepage analysis of an embankment dam and have a question about the downstream boundary condition. I am using a potential seepage face boundary condition since tailwater is unknown. Is it appropriate to extend the potential seepage face down the right side of the model as a far field boundary condition or…

What is G (equivalent) in QUAKE/W module?
On giving a constant Gmax as an input parameter, there is a range of values that could be observed for G (equivalent). What exactly is this G (equivalent) ?

What means the transparent circles and red crosses in Seep/W model result?
I'm running a seepage model and I'm getting some circles and crosses in the result, I think the red crosses mean issues with convergence, but what means the transparent circles? are the crosses really convergence problems?

Problemas con el 3D del Res2Dinv
Hola a todos Tengo un problema al representar las tomografías en la sección 3D. El caso es que salen en coordenadas geográficas decimales y no reconoce ese formato, por lo que se tiene que poner la coordenada del primer punto a mano. El problema es que no encuentro la manera de girarla, ya que sale en orientación N-S.…

Getting comparatively higher FOS in Slope stability analysis
I did the slope stability analysis to calculate the FOS of the upstream and downstream of the earth dam using five methods. I got very different values for Janbu generalized methods compared to other methods. Could someone tell me the possible reasons for this? see the attached image.

Determine the depth affected by evaporation
Hi,I hope you are doing well. I simulated a SEEP/W model that takes into account a boundary condition of recharge, where there is an interaction between climate and soil in one dimension. After the simulation, it appears that in node 16, the surface is affected by evaporation, but the node 15, located near the surface, is…

Cumulative rainfall in SeepW
Hi,I hope you're doing well. I simulated a model in SEEP/W, taking into account a boundary condition like recharge where there is an interaction between climate and soil in 1D dimension. The rainfall was 573.4 mm. After the simulation, the cumulative rainfall was 0.548 m³, which means that P = 548 mm.It seems that there…

Issues defining a piezometric line
Hi all. I've just updated my Geostudio suite from v2019 to v2022 and I'm having issues to define the piezometric line for a transient analysis. The thing is that it does not allow me to copy and paste coordinates in the definition window. It's imposible to draw it by hand because it's not a straight line so I would like to…
