The failures of tailings dams have a major negative impact on the economy, surrounding properties, and people’s lives, therefore monitoring these facilities is crucial to mitigate risk failure, but this can be challenging due their size inaccessibility. In work, deformation processes at ?elazny Most dam (Poland) were analyzed using satellite Ad-vanced Differential SAR Interferometry (A-DInSAR) ...

Dam-break flood waves represent a severe threat to people and properties located in downstream regions. Although dam failure has been among the main subjects investigated academia, little effort made toward investigating wave propagation under influence of tailwater depth. This work presents three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations laboratory experiments dam-breaks with performed at Laborat...

Dam break is considered as a major catastrophe with significant negative economic, social, and environmental consequences, thus must be prevented at any cost. Here, we report analyze near-miss dam incident in Toddbrook dam, England during the August 2019 flooding, where spillway of failed putting entire risk failure. A combination field surveys, desk studies numerical modelling applied to devel...

Most of the existing concrete dams are subjected to cracking. These cracks are caused by various factors such as construction practices, curing, loads and volume change of mass concrete which reduce the efficiency, failure or instability of concrete dams. Using fracture mechanics as a new method to estimate stability and durability of concrete dams is recommended in scientific publications in w...
