Exploring the Occurrence of Clogging in Highly Permeable Coarse Soils of Dam Foundations
Table 3
Mass percentage of incoming PSs in different soil media particles.
| Proportion characteristics of mass percentage for different incoming sediments in size clogging
for different soil skeletons in size | Clogging patterns |
| | α1 is greater than 75% | S | | α1 is less than 75% and the sum of α1 and α2 is greater than 75% | S–I | | Sum of α1 and α2 is less than 75% and the sum of α1, α2, α3, and α4 is greater than 75% | I | | β is greater than 75% | N |
