Ensuring the long-term, efficient, and safe operation of reservoir dams relies on slope stability embankment dams. Periodic fluctuations water level due to scheduling operations make bank vulnerable instability. To investigate influence various factors their interactions with dam under changing levels, a global sensitivity analysis method is proposed that accounts for seepage–stress coupling. A...

The seaward slope of embankment that experience erosion due to washing soil particles from the wave action might resulting become steeper by time and posing a threat closest residents. objective this research is examine existing protection methods for Senggarang Coastal Embankment (SCE) in terms functionality performance. This paper explores possible success failure factors performing stability...

this research intends to develop a method based on the artificial neural network (ann) to predict permanent earthquake-induced deformation of the earth dams and embankments. for this purpose, data sets of observations from 152 published case histories on the performance of the earth dams and embankments, during the past earthquakes, was used. in order to predict earthquake-induced deformation o...

Hydraulics has been at the forefront of science for centuries. In this paper, new exciting developments are presented in terms of energy dissipation and multiphase flows. These include the hydraulic design of rectangular dropshafts and stepped chutes for embankment dams, and new air-water studies of spillway flows and dam break waves. The findings demonstrate innovative hydraulic research which...

Aging infrastructure in the US has gained quite a bit of attention in the past decade. Being one type of a critical infrastructure, embankment dams in the US require significant investment to upgrade the deteriorated parts. Due to limited budgets, understanding the behavior of structures over time through risk assessment is essential to prioritize dams. During the risk assessment for embankment...

considering the seepage and choosing an efficient sealing method is very important in dam projects. this issue has a close relationship with engineering geological properties of the dam site. chapar-abad dam is an inhomogeneous earth-fill dam of 44.5 meters height, crest length about 427 meters and a reservoir capacity of 127 million cubic meters. the dam project is under construction and is lo...

The diversity of the landslide dam structure will result in difference body’s seepage. In this paper, based on two kinds soil bodies different particle gradations, fourteen groups structures are designed to generalize seepage developments and breaking processes. study shows that saturation evolution characteristics dam's have a considerable influence dam’s characteristics. An empirical formula ...

For an internally unstable soil, fine particles can move in the pore channels between coarse along with seepage flow; this process is termed internal erosion. To evaluate stability and erosion behavior of sandy gravel alluvium beneath suspended cutoff wall embankment dam foundation, a series horizontal tests were carried out on four representative gradations layer using large-scale high-pressur...
