Analysis of Longitudinal Cracks in Crest of Doroodzan Dam [PDF]
, 2010 Doroodzan earth dam is located in 85 km north western of Shiraz. Because of the unusual seepage flow in the left abutment, in 1992 an impermeable vane was grouted there.

Construction Problems with an Earth and Rockfill Dam [PDF]
, 1988 Earth and rockfill dams became popular in the 1960\u27s primarily because of increased heights of dams, poor foundation conditions that rule out concrete dams, and vast improvements in excavation and vibratory compaction equipment.
