internal erosion under spillway rested on an embankment dam

چکیده
in this paper we investigate the mechanism of internal erosion caused in the right abutment of the shahghasem dam’s spillway. shahghasem dam is an earthen dam located in yasouj, in southwest of iran. a significant hole and pipe have been observed in the corner of the right abutment from upstream view. the foundation is marlstone, which has low cohesion and susceptible for internal erosion and piping in some conditions. going through details of the design maps has shown that lane’s criteria for selecting safe dimensions of the seepage control measures have not been considered properly. a series of the supportive walls are designed to attach to the right part of the spillway in order to increase the length of seepage. the pipe route of the erosion should also be grouted with high quality concrete.

متن کاملEmbankment dam spillways and energy dissipators
For the last fifty years, the design floods of a number of embankment dams were re-evaluated and the revised spillway outflows are often larger than the original design discharges. Several embankment overtopping protection systems were developed for earthfill structures, and the applications range from river dykes to tsunami protections including embankment dams. Well-known designs include timb...
متن کاملForecasting embankment dam behaviour with artificial intelligence
Forecasting dam behaviour is of paramount importance to avoid collapses. It consists of detecting and controlling deterioration mechanisms. This paper sets out to propose a multi model methodology to model complex dynamic systems, such as dams. It defines three models based on expert knowledge: a structural model, a functional model and a behavioural model. They are developed from the stories o...
متن کاملSeismic Behavior of Zoned Core Embankment Dam
The aim of this investigation is to study the dynamic behavior of a zoned core earth-fill dam. Due to lack of suitable clay materials, the Mamloo dam is designed as zoned core that is composed of three vertical zones including central lean clay (CL) core and two sides clayey gravel (GC) layers. Seismic behavior of dam was analyzed in two cases including homogenous clayey core and zoned core by ...
متن کاملEnergy Dissipation and Residual Energy on Embankment Dam Stepped Spillways
Stepped spillways are designed to increase the rate of energy dissipation on the chute and to reduce the size of the downstream energy dissipator. It is essential to predict accurately the turbulent dissipation above the steps for large discharges per unit width corresponding to the skimming flow regime. New measurements were conducted in a large facility with a channel slope of 21.8o and a ste...
متن کاملUncertainty Analysis of Spillway Erosion Parameters
Windows Dam Analysis Modules (WinDAM) is a set of modular software components that can be used to analyze overtopped earthen embankments and internal erosion of dams. WinDAM is being developed in stages. The initial computational modules address routing of floods through the reservoir with dam overtopping and evaluation of the potential for vegetation or riprap to delay or prevent failure of th...
