The behavior of earth dams has particular complexities against dynamic forces and its assessment requiresdetailed and scientific analysis. The Farrokhi earth dam is a heterogeneous type with vertical clay core, built 150 km away from Birjand and 41 km away from Qaen on the Farrokhi River. There are concernsregarding the stability of this dam in the event of a future severe earthquake especially...

a few of the presented soil behavior models are capable of predicting the triggering and post liquefaction and also shear band mechanism through the soil media. the assessment of earth-dam body behavior as a soil structure made of cohesive soil in core and non-cohesive soil as the core supports, including water interaction at upstream through earthquake upon a multi-line constitutive equations ...

iran is an active seismic region. earthquake damage is commonly controlled by three interacting factors including source and path characteristics, local geological and geotechnical conditions and type of the structures. obviously, all of this would require analysis and presentation of a large amount of geological, seismological and geotechnical data. in this paper, nonlinear geotechnical seismi...

The Soltan Dam on the river Soltan, a branch of Tine River, is located about 19 km of Mateur city in the northeast of Tunisia. The dam is now under Study and will be constructed in 2017. The Soltan Dam has been designed as an earth fill dam with homogeneous materials. The dam and its associated concrete structures are mainly founded on marl, shale and shale of Lower Miocene age, sandstone of th...

Deposition of sediment inside the conduit structures reduces the flow cross section area and increases the flow roughness which causes reduction of flow discharge passing through the conduit. Among the methods which can prevent sediment deposition is non sedimentation condition in the structure, Since the critical section of the inverted siphon in sedimentation is the outlet. In the begining of...

the karkheh dam reservoir with a capacity of more than 5 billion cubic meter is the largest dam in iran with both agricultural and drinking usages. its hydrodynamics and water quality were modeled and simulated to analyze the total maximum daily load (tmdl) of total dissolved solids (tds). the simulation was supported with measurements of temperature and tds measurements during two years. a lat...
