Abstract Dams are built to contain water or mining tailings and provide several benefits society. The safety stability of these structures essential since eventual accidents can generate catastrophic damage. main cause ruptures is associated with abnormal seepage, which progress an internal erosion process. To assess the dams, periodic inspections carried out, typically include visual geotechni...

We investigate techniques for earth dam and levee health monitoring and automatic detection of anomalous events in passive seismic data. We have developed a novel data-driven workflow that uses machine learning and geophysical data collected from sensors located on the surface of the levee to identify internal erosion events. In this paper, we describe our research experiments with binary and o...

Polymer anti-seepage walls have been widely used in the reinforcement projects of earth dams. Dam crest is always supposed to meet requirements traffic load which has significant influence on dam body and wall. In order analyze coordination characteristics deformation between polymer wall under loads, a 3D finite element model an that considers coupling effect seepage field stress was establish...
