Phase2 Tutorials > Groundwater Flow in Cofferdam
In this tutorial, finite element groundwater seepage analysis is used to determine the quantity of seepage entering a cofferdam. The problem is solved in three stages as follows:
Installation of sheet pilings to hold back water
Excavation of soil inside the dam
Pumping of water inside the dam
