Dam failures are examples of man-made disasters that have stimulated investigation into the processes related to failure different dam types. Embankment breaching during an overtopping event is one major modes for this type, comprising both earthfill and rockfill dams. This paper presents results a series laboratory tests on breach initiation progression in Especially eight 1 m-high 1:10 scale ...

In the present study, tried to examine the reactive solute relationships for transport and degradation processes through the rockfill media. By applying the analytical solution of reactive transport, the 1st to 3rd theoretical temporal moments have been extracted then, by using two methods of curve fitting and temporal moment matching, the coefficients of dispersion and degradation have been ex...
