Abstract:
Numerical study is carried out to analyse the behaviour of cut off walls in sandy soil, under constant differential pressure head, by varying its location from upstream end to downstream end. The deformation and bending moment in cut off wall are at their lowest magnitude when the cut off wall is positioned at upstream end. The cut off wall is subjected to second lowest deformation, when it is positioned at downstream end. The maximum deformation occurs, when the cut off wall is positioned at 0.60 times the total width of diversion dam from upstream end. The seepage rate in the diversion dam is highest when the cut off wall is positioned at centre of the diversion dam. The seepage rate in the diversion dam is having direct relation with the maximum displacement and maximum bending moment. The seepage force found to be more predominant than the pressure gradient and active pore pressure variations in deforming the cut off walls of diversion dams.

Types of Non-structural Cracks in Concrete
Plastic shrinkage cracks typically form within hours after the concrete is poured. The concrete's surface dries faster than the bottom, creating tensile stress that the still-plastic concrete cannot withstand, leading to diagonal or randomly patterned cracks on the concrete surface.
