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...

Stating the story of Zolqarnein and dam construction by him, verses 83 to 98 of Al-Kahf have pointed to some scientific points and facts regarding safety industry, impenetrability and consolidation of iron through putting a coating of copper on its sur...

Effect 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...
