Estimation of sediment transport load due to erosion in river basins is one of the issues which is indispensable for many projects related to water resources, soil and damps construction. With regards to the phenomenon of erosion and transmission Sedimentation in rivers has always led to deformation in the seaboard and sedimentation, so the management and planning in bank of rivers is important...

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...

Earth dam is a structure as homogeneous or non-homogeneous forms for raising water level or water supply. Earth dam consist of different parts that one of the main parts is clay core. Choosing an optimal non permeable core which causes reduction of seepage through dam body and also being stable is necessary. The objective of this research is to optimize the geometry of earth dam clay core such ...

Dam construction is one of the challenges among large-scale projects of a country. Among different types of dams, due to special features, earth dams are the most kind of dams that were constructed in Iran in the past three decades. Features such as efficiency and stability of earth dams have an important effect on their operation and prevent them to be damaged. Taham dam is clay core dam which...

stability and safety analysis of dams is a subject which has been studied in recent years by several researchers. researchers have used various methods and models for studying the stability of the dam. several methods are proposed for the analysis of earth dams under earthquakes. some of these methods are viscoelastic methods and semi static methods. each of these methods can be used as an appr...

One of the main concerns to design earth dam is the stability of the upstream slope of the earth dam in phase of rapid drawdown. Confined pore water pressure reduces the effective stress in this mode, so possibility of the instability and slippage will be increased. The main goal of this research is to investigate changes in the pore water pressure by using horizontal drains in upstream slope o...

A dam may fail when the loading (overtopping flood, flow through or beneath the dam, earthquake or blasting loading, terrorist attacks, deterioration etc.) exceeds the resistance against overtopping, internal erosion, slope instability, sliding/overturning, excessive deformation etc. To properly describe the causes of dam failures, it is necessary to study characteristics of the dams which have...
