A new variational inequality formulation is proposed for seepage problems with free surfaces. The formulation enforces a Signorini's type of boundary condition on the potential seepage boundaries. The singularity of the seepage points is hence eliminated theoretically; and the location of the seepage points is also determined. Meanwhile, through replacing the step Heaviside function with a continuous Heaviside function dependent on a mesh parameter during discretization, the mesh dependency inherent in Bathe's algorithm is overcome and the numerical stability is significantly improved.
