Pit slope manual. Supplement 4-1, Computer manual for seepage analysis .: M38-13/77-30E-PDF

"FEFPM performs a steady-state seepage analysis to determine fluid pressures, flow quantities, rates and direction of groundwater slopes. It assumes either planar or radially symmetric flow, linear in a finite element in a porous medium. It computes the location of phreatic surface for unconfined flow problems, material type and permeability for a specific soil element, and fluid potential and stream function values. The program generates nodes and elements of a finite element mesh during iterations to locate a phreatic surface and automatically limits the flow regime to the slope profile"--Abstract.
