Khosla provided a seepage theory for design of Hydraulic structures called________________?
Correct answer: D. Method of independent variables
- A. Theory of seepage
- B. Creep theory
- C. Method of cutoffs
- D. Method of independent variables
Explanation
Khosla analysed seepage beneath hydraulic structures using the method of independent variables, which relates seepage pressures and gradients to the positions of floors and cut-offs. This is different from Bligh’s empirical creep theory.
