Seepage Analysis through Rockfill Dams by Finite Element Method in a Fixed Gird

In this paper, Forchheimer equation is used as the constitutive equation for flow through rockfill, and the non-linear two-dimensional governing equation with free surface is solved by a new finite element method in a fixed grid. The model is verified by applying it to different flow conditions. The first scenario, which is assumed to be one-dimensional with analytical solution available for it...

A Simple Method for Calculating the Seepage from Earth Dams with Clay Core

There are various evaluation methods available for the discharge rate passing from the body of dam 1) Analytical methods, 2) Numerical methods and 3) Experimental methods. In the initial stages of dam design, it is necessary to approximately calculate the seepage and board of the project. In this research, almost 600 geometric models have been considered for embankment dam with clay core which ...

Two and Three-Dimensional Seepage Analysis of Earth Dams Considering Horizontal Filter Blanket Effects (RESEARCH NOTE)

Evaluation of seismic responses of earth dams in the steady-state seepage (a case study: Shamil Dam)

Considering the high seismic potential in most parts of Iran, the importance of studying the behavior of earth dams under earthquake loading, especially in the southern regions, is very important due to the number of these dams and seismicity of the Zagros mountain range. In recent years, many studies have been performed on the effects of earthquakes on earth dams, but these structures exhibit ...
