Analyzing the working conditions of a dam using safety monitoring indices (SMIs) is relatively intuitive and effective method for evaluation. Therefore, reasonable accurate determining SMIs vital importance assessment. However, current methods dams, especially roller-compacted concrete (RCC) have many shortcomings, such as ignoring construction process dam, coupling effect among multiple physic...

for non-darcy flow in submerged porous media a one- dimensional mathematical model has been developed. rockfill detention dams are one of these porous media that comprised of relatively homogenous coarse rockfill which can be used to reduce flood discharge and hydrograph peak. in this research the focus was on the rockfill detention dams in submerged condition. the existence of overtopping rock...

Stepped spillwayflows are characterised by significant free-surface aeration downstream of the inception point of air entrainment. The stepped design is advantageous for applications which require large energy dissipation and strong flow aeration. While the energy dissipation rate for embankment stepped spillways was studied previously, the optimum design for aeration and air–water mass transfe...

In this study, based on data from instrumentation Kaboodval earth dam, pore pressure, stresses and the meeting of the dam construction period compared with the values ​​of numerical analysis. For this purpose, during the construction of the dam using Mohr-Coulomb model behavior, the softening, hardening model has been analyzed and pore pressure, stresses in the body and its meeting with instrum...

In the present study, physical model tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the geogrid reinforcement on the reduction of the differential settlement in widening of a highway embankment. A water bag filled with water and placed beneath an embankment was used to simulate the soft foundation of the widened portion of the embankment in the physical model test. Water from the water bag w...

Abstract Safety and maintenance of railway tracks has been very crucial, for sustainable economic development many nations. Almost the entire Indian were built over raised earth embankments. These embankments are susceptible to slope failure due numerous reasons. One major cause is seepage surface runoff during rainy (monsoon) season. Erosion by gullying regarded as most significant scar. Vario...


 This research revealed the crack generation of highway embankment from water losing shrinkage wet black cotton soil (BCS), which is a type with high swell-shrink potential. The road seepage meter was used to test permeability filling materials, replace BCS. moisture content and deflection BCS foundation were measured after rainy season. Based on coupled consolidation theory for unsaturat...

Dam safety is considerably affected by seepage, and uplift pressure a key indicator of dam seepage. Thus, making accurate predictions trends can improve hazard forecasting. In this study, convolutional neural network, (CNN)-gated recurrent (GRU)-based prediction model was developed, which included the CNN model’s feature extractability GRU learnability for time series correlation data. Then, pe...
