Hello
I wanted to know even though its obvious , is there major differences between slope analysis of a true modeling of ground water in curved lines and modeling it using linear segments ( some software's do not model ground water flow correctly) ?

On the other hand , we made a modeling of a culvert for a road design . Thing is do to lack of data , we choose random values of soil pressure on the side walls and soil reaction on the raft of the culvert

Is it safe to do so? or must we calculate true values according to your experience ? Culvert : 2m*2m*11m
