According to Blight, the percolating water seeps along the lower contour of the hydraulic structure, the length traversed by this water is called ______________________?
Correct answer: A. Creep length
- A. Creep length
- B. Seeping length
- C. Piping
- D. Undermining
Explanation
Bligh called the distance travelled by seepage water along the contact or lower contour of a hydraulic structure the creep length. Piping and undermining are harmful seepage effects, not the distance itself.
