The numerical results of seepage flux (q) and exi gradient (Ge) for both cases have the same trend. Also, the presence of sheet piles leads to decrease of seepage flux (q) and exit gradien (Ge). These results are according to the findings of (Nassralla et a/., 2015, and Saleh et a/., 2009 who reported that the results obtained for exi gradient (Ge) clear that, when the hydraulic structure supported using the sheet pile oundation at any position under foundation floor he result uplift pressure increase with increasing he effective hydraulic head. The exit gradient Ge) increase when there was no sheet pile provided to the hydraulic structure. The seepage lux (q) decreased by decreasing the hydraulic head and decrease with the sheet pile installation. Likewise, seepage analysis was performed for a weir without sheet piles under steady-state condition for a different water reservoir levels. The overall maximum resultant seepage quantity (q) and exit gradient (Ge) was found 78.20x10° m*/sec/m and 2.27 when the total head was 28.7m_ respectively. For the five various hydraulic heads scenarios the velocity vector showed an abnormal behavior and comes out from the river bed at the downstream of the weir section.
