Calculation and Analysis of Earth-rock Dam Seepage Flow Based on FEM
Abstract Earth-rock dam is the oldest dam type and is the most widely used type of dam in the world. Because earth-rock dams have the superiority that other dam types do not have, earth-rock dams have a large proportion in China. After the earth-rock dam is built to retain water, it sees a seepage in the dam body.

Seepage Monitoring Models Study of Earth-Rock Dams Influenced by Rainstorms [PDF]
For earth-rock dams influenced by rainstorms, seepage status monitoring is very important and provides the basis for the safe and effective operation of earth-rock dams. The most influential factors concerning the seepage of earth-rock dams are the reservoir water level, precipitation, temperature, and timeliness, and the influence of the reservoir ...

Subordination of related party claims in insolvency: A suggestive framework for Asian regimes
Abstract Related party loans, due to their inherent nature, warrant a higher threshold for scrutiny when compared to loans extended by unrelated parties. Why were these monies advanced as loans, carrying higher priority in insolvency, rather than being invested as share capital?

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Numerical model for breach of concrete face sand-gravel dams due to overtopping
Based upon the data of field investigations and back analysis of centrifugal model tests for the beach case of the Gouhou concrete face sand-gravel dam (CFSGD), a numerical model for breach of CFSGD is developed. The major highlights of the model are the

Integrating Machine Learning and StoDyM for Check Dam Site Selection on the Loess Plateau, China
ABSTRACT Severe soil erosion in the Loess Plateau has led to significant land degradation, threatening agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability. Check dams, as a critical soil–water conservation measure, have proven effective in mitigating sediment loss and reclaiming farmland.

ABSTRACT Rehabilitation of skid trails following timber harvesting is critical for preserving forest soil integrity, particularly within ecologically sensitive ecosystems such as the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although mulching is widely recommended for erosion control, field evidence comparing different locally ...

Back analysis of dynamic parameters of high earth-rock dam materials under weak earthquakes
In the case of weak earthquakes, a back analysis model considering interaction and radiation damping effects is proposed for dynamic parameters of earth-rock dams.

ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...
