Seepage pressure the pressure exerted by water on soil through which it percolates is known as seepage pressure $(P_s)$ it is given by:
$P_s = h * \eta_w$
$ P_s=\frac{h}{L} * L * \eta_w$
$P_s = iL\eta_w$
Quicksand condition: The seepage is responsible for the phenomenon of quicksand this condition …
