The use of forest roads as foundations for dam construction by beavers is a recurrent problem in the management of forest road networks. In order to limit the damage to forest roads, our goal was to calculate the probability of beaver dam installation on culverts, according to surrounding habitat parameters, which could allow for improvement in the spatial design of new roads that minimise conf...

in the first impounding of rockfill dams, additional settlements occur in upstream side in saturated rockfills due to collapse phenomenon even high rainy seasons can cause additional deformation in the dumped rockfills. unfortunately these displacements are not taken into account in the conventional numerical models which are currently used to predict embankment dam behavior during impounding. ...

The configuration and safety factor of rockfill dams design depend on materials used in construction the dam. In some regions, available for using as impermeable element dam body are dispersive it is inevitable to consider dispersivity material construction. Internal erosion through cracks or other openings embankment most concern soils. authors have designed an by soil East Africa after finali...
