Generalised technique for the estimation of probable maximum precipitation in India [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
In this paper a version of a generalised method of estimating probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is applied to the catchments of four large dams in India. The value of a secure dam is high both in terms of human life and in economic terms.

Elastic and plastic wetting mechanical parameters of rockfill based on deformation law

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
Wetting deformation is part of the main post-completion deformation of earth-rock dams, which has important influences on the stress deformation behavior of dam body and the safety of dam body for the initial impoundment.
