The electrical resistivity tomography technique is a geophysical inspection method widely used for several investigations, such as mining exploration, fault localization, groundwater flow, geological and pollution zones. Infusing brine into substructure can increase conductivity becomes useful medium to trace the path of seepage flowing in rockfill dams. In this article, an elapsed-time was dev...

Deformation mechanism in the core rockfill dams with heavy load and high-stress level is difficult to predict control, which one of key problems be solved dam operation safety management control. Aiming at large error obtained by parameter-based functional models (regression model, grey theory etc.) deformation prediction dams, a fractal method its technical process combining variable dimension...

The initial dry density has a significant effect on the mechanical behavior of rockfill material (RFM). size effects minimum/maximum (referred to as density, ρ d ) RFM still need further study. To investigate relationship between and M , series surface vibration compaction tests DEM simulations are performed samples with different maximum particle sizes . Both physical numerical results exhibit...

Tailings dams, due to methods and materials used in their construction are vulnerable structures to earthquake. In many cases storage of water over tailings is required to prevent aerial pollution or reduction in water consumption by the means of a recycling system, therefore failure of these kinds of dams not only induce affects similar to conventional water dams, but also may lead to irrevers...

Mountain Flood Control Reservoir (MFC Reservoir) is used to reduce the flood level in mountainous area and protect settlements downstream. The special feature of this MFC fast filling during 1-2 days, short storage time at maximum speed falling water level. Simulation operation was carried out on software Midas GTS NX. Two rockfill dam models were developed: with core screen. fluctuation taken ...
