to investigate the saturation induced collapse deformation behavior of rockfill material, a set of large-scale triaxial tests were conducted in saturated and dry-saturated conditions. specimens were tested under various confining pressures. for dry-saturated tests, specimens were sheared in various stress levels. results of all dry saturated tests indicate a sudden reduction in the specimen vol...

detention rockfill dams are accounted as economically efficient structures for flood control, river bed and banks protection, flow diversion, etc. as the hydraulic behavior of these structures, when are used for flood control, is affected by the depth of water in their porous media, there are interests to predict water surface profile through the body of these structures. in this research, we d...

In order to safely and efficiently use soft rock aggregate cemented dams in red bed regions promote the development of widely sourced sand gravel dam materials, Jinjigou project China applied for first time construction material dams. This article further explores concept from conducting on-site direct shear tests research on ratios invents a new structure method by combining with rockfill. als...
