  • To prevent hydraulic shear failure, the critical hydraulic gradient must be twice the existing hydraulic gradient where gF = specific weight of the soil particles/of the soil in situ kn kN/m³, gW = specific weight of water, about 10 kN/m³, n = pore volume proportion, Dh = difference in water level between headwater and tail water in m, nS = number of potential lines, DnS = distance between two neighbouring potential lines in m.

  • Intermixing faces from the S and nS face classes minimized the possibility that participants could use different response criteria for different face classes (Wixted, 1992; Wixted & Stretch, 2000).
