Seepage Characteristics Analysis on Earth Dams Considering Polymer Cutoff Wall with Construction Defects

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

The Analysis of the Seepage Characteristics of Tailing Dams Based on FLAC

In this paper, the Guangxi’s red mud disposal field is taken as the study area. Appropriate calculating parameters and boundary conditions were selected based on the survey data to build a Mohr-Coul0mb and fluid model under the plane-strain condition. FLAC software was adopted to simulate the distribution of pore water pressure, filtrate seepage paths, and leakage of the dam body under conditio...

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 ...

Estimation of pore water pressure in the body of earth dams during construction with intelligent models

One of the basic measures in managing the stability of earth dams is to accurately estimate the amount of pore water pressure in the body of the dam during and after its construction. In this study, three different models of artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and gene expression programming (GEP) to estimate the pore water pressure in the body of Kab...

Applying Verbal Decision Analysis on the Choice of Materials to the Construction Process of Earth Dams

The choice of materials to be used on the construction of earth dams is made in an empirical way, taking into account previous projects and the experience of the involved engineers. An engineer often specifies the materials and their quantities that will be used based on previous projects, on the geotechnical information about the materials available and on common sense. In order to improve thi...
