Review on overtopping failure and flood evolution of earth-rock dams
Flood events caused by the overtopping failure of earth-rock dams often lead to catastrophic disasters. Therefore, examining the cause of the dam failure and studying the subsequent flood evolution processes are extremely important for disaster ...

Mechanical Properties and Damming Behaviors of Gravelly Solidified Soil for Earth-Rock Dam Core Wall
To decrease the arch effect of core wall effectively has become an important requirement for high earth-rock dams. To address this issue, a soil solidifier was used to improve the properties of gravelly soil. This study investigated the durability and mechanical performances of gravelly soils mixed with different proportions of solidifier through the ...

Application of fractal theory in rockfill rheology
The rockfill material crushes during the process of rheology and the fractal dimension of rockfill material varies with time. Based on the basic rule of rheological process of coarse-grained soils, the fractal theory is applied into the analysis of ...

Study on geomembrane seepage property of earth-rock dams
AbstractAs an anti-seepage material, geomembrane is widely used in earth-rock dams engineering. However, the seepage calculation of geomembrane earth-rock dams has not been studied theoretically. According to the permeation mechanism of geomembrane, it can be divided into two categories: one is the permeability of itself; the other is the defect ...

Seismic dynamic responses of earth-rock dam considering wave and seepage [PDF]
Earth-rock dam plays an important role in water conservancy project, but there were many damage cases caused by earthquakes, so it is necessary to investigate dynamic responses of earth-rock dams under combined action of earthquake and wave. Considering material nonlinearity, seepage, wave action, fluid-solid interaction, liquid sloshing, a numerical ...
