This article presents experimental research focusing on the structural failure of central core a rockfill dam using sand-bentonite mixtures. It comprised an extensive geotechnical characterization soil materials and mixtures, including compaction strength tests, as well construction 1 m high 1.5 wide physical models. The displacements cohesive cores were recorded tailored measuring system, base...

Abstract—Rockfills are widely used in civil engineering, such as dams, railways, and airport foundations in mountain areas. A significant long-term post-construction settlement may affect the serviceability or even the safety of rockfill infrastructures. The creep behavior of rockfills is influenced by a number of factors, such as particle size, strength and shape, water condition and stress le...

Dam settlement monitoring is a crucial project in the safety management of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRD) over their whole life cycle. With development an automatic system, large amount data was collected. To precisely predict structural health dams, combined multiple points (MMP) model and machine learning has been developed. In this paper, based on physical factors CFRD, we comprehensivel...
