Local large deformation between cut-off wall and core wall on deep overburden by meshless method
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023 As a significant type of dam on deep overburden, the earth core rockfill dam connects the concrete cut-off wall and soil core wall directly, and the "penetration" phenomenon with local large deformation may exist between cut-off wall and core wall due to

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The unclear impact of temperature on rockfill dam settlement and the lack of a solid basis for selecting temperature parameters in prediction models are problematic. These issues significantly limit the accuracy and applicability of deformation monitoring models for rockfill dams.

Modeling Static Behavior of Rockfill Materials Based on Generalized Plasticity Model
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019 Rockfill materials are commonly used for dam construction. Establishing an effective model that can reasonably describe the mechanical properties of rockfill material is very important for the calculation of earth-rock dam engineering.

Seismic reliability analysis of high earth-rockfill dams based on deformation control criteria
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 The reliability-based design (RBD) is one of the most crucial measures to study and guarantee geotechnical engineering safety. Through quantitative analysis of uncertainty in earth-rockfill dam engineering, the failure probability can be evaluated and ...

Numerical analysis of earthquake response of an ultra-high earth-rockfill dam
, 2013 Abstract. Failure of high earth dams under earthquake may cause disastrous economic damage and loss of lives. It is necessary to conduct seismic safety assessment, and numerical analysis is an effective way. Solid-fluid interaction has a significant influence on the dynamic responses of geotechnical materials, which should be considered in the seismic ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Addressing the limitations of traditional overtopping risk analysis methods, which either consider only a single failure mode or fail to accurately characterize the nonlinear characteristics of reservoir levels, this paper proposes a novel overtopping risk model for dams.

Air entrainment and splash characteristics in jet flows: Effect of downstream water levels
River, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 287-296, August 2025.Abstract This study investigates the air–water interaction dynamics in jet streams, with particular emphasis on the transition from the cavity to the far‐field regions. A dual‐tip conductivity phase‐detection probe was employed to analyze four distinct downstream water levels.
