Abstract

A levee road is a component of a levee project. The subgrade of a levee road is the levee itself and usually it is submerged in the water. A special attention has been paid for slop stability and seepage of levee road under submerged condition during design and construction phases. This study investigated the effect of precipitation on humidity distribution in a levee road subgrade using the commercial finite element (FEM) package, GEO-Studio. The saturated-unsaturated seepage model has been adopted in the SEEP/W module to conduct numerical simulation on the humidity distribution of levee subgrade. Different ground water level on the river side was used. The effect of precipitation was also included. The humidity distribution in the simulated levee subgrade was presented through counter maps.
