The water supply is the crucial problem of human beings in the world. Earth dams are usually the most important structures to store and manage the main sources: surface waters. The safety of earth dams in different conditions especially under earthquake loadings plays a vital role in sustainable developments. Recently, mixed-clay soil is widely used as water- seal material in the core of earth ...

Dam break analysis plays a very important role in the risk assessment of dams. Large dams pose significantly higher risks to the people and property downstream of the dam as compared to smaller dams. So the flooding risk due to the possible failure of large dams is more crucial. The simulation of exceptional events characterized by high hydraulic and hydro-geologic risk is an actual problem for...

the number of constructed dams has been largely increased due to high demands of water supplies, and earth dams are the most common types since they are more compatible to the environment. nevertheless, the stability of these important structures during earthquakes has to be carefully evaluated and guaranteed. in the past, earth dams usually designed with pure clay core, but in recent decades t...

Evaluating rock masses for dam foundations, especially heterogeneous (flysch), becomes imperative and requires accurate geomechanical classifications. The rocks at the Kanarwe river basin, a proposed site (Goma-Qazan near Khewata, Sura Qalat villages), mainly consist of interlaying massive carbonate Aqra Formation with flysch Tanjero Formation. Therefore, selecting appropriate types is challeng...

Introduction. The stone-and-earth dam of the Yumaguzinskiy hydroelectric complex on Belaya river is constructed in complicated geological conditions heterogeneous foundation. results computational research stress-strain state (SSS) dam, carried out for variant an earth with central core are presented. When calculating deflected mode dams, real structure ground characterized by its relation elas...
