The article provides recommendations on the possibility of implementing an automated system diagnostical control over operational condition a dam. Implementation BING-3 allows to opening cracks in concrete structures, take readings from piezometers and air temperature sensors automatic regime. gives analysis instruments used for diagnostics reasons failure certain devices. It has been establish...

AbstractDams are civil structures essential to modern civilization. However, they can be a threat if not properly designed and operated. A particular risk that potentially lead dam failure i...

Dams are man-made structures that in order to keep functioning and to be considered structurally healthy need constant monitoring. Assessing the deformation of dams can be time consuming and economically costly. Recently, the technique of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has proved its potential to measure ground and structural deformation. This geodetic method represents a cost...

Abstract Dam breach due to the earthquake, Land sliding inside dam reservoir, overtopping as a result of intense precipitation in watershed are examples dangerous risks which flood caused by any them should be predicted suitable hydraulic or numerical models framework risk management plan. In present research, 2DHec-Ras model has been applied order modeling Sattarkhan dam. This is North West Ir...

This paper presents the results of an extensive laboratory set tests aimed to study failure downstream shoulder highly permeable rockfill subjected overflow. The experimental research comprised testing 114 physical models by varying following elements: (i) median size uniform gravels (7 45 mm); (ii) configuration dam, i.e., upstream and shoulders crest or just shoulder; (iii) dam height (from 0...

The diversity of the landslide dam structure will result in difference body’s seepage. In this paper, based on two kinds soil bodies different particle gradations, fourteen groups structures are designed to generalize seepage developments and breaking processes. study shows that saturation evolution characteristics dam's have a considerable influence dam’s characteristics. An empirical formula ...

Dam models were constructed in an indoor flume to test dam breach failure processes study the seismic signals induced. A simple model was also proposed estimate hydrographs for floods. The results showed that when retrogressive erosion due seepage of continues, it will eventually reach crest at upstream side dam, and then trigger overtopping breaching. corresponding events during evaluated. Cha...

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 ...
