Analysis of earth dam failures - A database approach
A dam may fail when the loading (overtopping flood, flow through or beneath the dam, earthquake or blasting loading, terrorist attacks, deterioration etc.) exceeds the resistance against overtopping, internal erosion, slope instability, sliding/overturning, excessive deformation etc. To properly describe the causes of dam failures, it is necessary to study characteristics of the dams which have...
متن کاملA multi-lined behavior simulation approach for liquefaction of earth-dam
A few of the presented soil behavior models are capable of predicting the triggering and post liquefaction and also shear band mechanism through the soil media. The assessment of earth-dam body behavior as a soil structure made of cohesive soil in core and non-cohesive soil as the core supports, including water interaction at upstream through earthquake upon a multi-line constitutive equations ...
متن کاملEffect of watershed dam on groundwater level (Lavar earth dam)
The managed recharge of groundwater is a stable and newfound technique which has already produced successful results and is expected to solve many of the problems of water resources, particularly in arid and semiarid areas. Artificial recharge of aquifers is considered as a strategy for the improvement of groundwater resources and their storage capacity to compensate for the damages inflicted o...
متن کاملFloods from tailings dam failures.
This paper compiles the available information on historic tailings dam failures with the purpose to establish simple correlations between tailings ponds geometric parameters (e.g., dam height, tailings volume) and the hydraulic characteristics of floods resulting from released tailings. Following the collapse of a mining waste dam, only a part of tailings and polluted water stored at the dam is...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Earth Dams Function against the Effects of Long-Term Deposition in Reservoirs (Polrood Earth Dam-Guilan Province)
Estimation of sediment transport load due to erosion in river basins is one of the issues which is indispensable for many projects related to water resources, soil and damps construction. With regards to the phenomenon of erosion and transmission Sedimentation in rivers has always led to deformation in the seaboard and sedimentation, so the management and planning in bank of rivers is important...
