in this study, the mechanical behavior of vanyar dam was evaluated at the end of construction. a two-dimensional numerical analysis was conducted based on a finite element method on the largest cross-section of the dam. the data recorded by the instruments located in the largest cross-section were compared with the results of the numerical analysis at the place of instruments. the settlement, p...

A constant head permeability test of the coarse-grained soil an earth-rockfill dam was carried out and gradation tested determined based on continuous equation. Based results, empirical formula coefficient considering influence established. The can be used to assess with respect area under curve. applicability verified results from other studies. It found that suitable for soil. This paper prov...

The original state-dependent fractional stress-dilatancy (FSD) equation for soils is developed based on the critical state lines (CSLs) with linear form. However, experimental evidences showed that CSLs of soil in p ′ –q and e–p planes could be both nonlinear as well due to significant material degradation. This note aims propose a unified FSD arbitrary types CSLs. Detailed derivations are prov...
