Flow Resistance and Design Guidelines for Embankment Stepped Chutes
Recently the design flows of many dams have been re-evaluated, resulting in spills often larger than the original ones. In many cases, occurrence of revised flows would result in dam overtopping because of insufficient storage and spillway capacity of reservoirs. Embankment dams whilst common are more likely to fail than other dam types when overtopped in an uncontrolled manner because of breac...
متن کاملPiled-Slab Searches
This paper deals with the conflict between simplicity and optimality in searching for a stationary target whose location is distributed in two dimensions, thus continuing an analysis that was begun in World War II. The search is assumed to be of the “piled-slab” type, where each slab consists of a uniform search of some simple region. The measure of simplicity is the number of regions (smaller ...
متن کاملEmbankment overtopping protection systems
For the last decades, the design floods of numerous embankment reservoirs were re-evaluated, and the revised spillway outflows are typically larger than those used in the original designs. As a result, a number of overtopping protection systems were developed for embankments and earthfill dams, with applications encompassing river dykes, coastal barriers for storm surge and tsunami protections....
متن کاملHighway Embankment Construction Procedure
some heavy clay soils of the A6 and A7 types with tar emul sions and cutbacks on an experimental subgrade stabilization during the summer of 1937, we found that this type of soil stabilization presents some very different problems from those of soil-aggregate stabilization. Soil-cement stabilization, as described by Mr. Myers, also presents some interesting problems. According to its claims, t...
متن کاملLiquefaction of Earth Embankment Dams
Paul C. Rizzo Associates, Inc. (RIZZO) has developed efficient computational tools to evaluate the liquefaction potential of earth embankment dams located within high risk seismic regions. Two relevant case histories are the Saluda Dam and the Santee Cooper East Dam Extension, both structures susceptible to liquefaction, and located in South Carolina. Saluda Dam presents liquefaction risks with...
