Phreatic seepage flow through an earth dam with an impeding strip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
New mathematical models are developed and corresponding boundary value problems are analytically and numerically solved for Darcian flows in earth (rock)–filled dams, which have a vertical impermeable barrier on the downstream slope.

Multi‐Sources and Modes‐Based Overtopping Risk Model for Gravity Dams Under Extreme Working Conditions

open access: yesWater 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.

EFFECTIVE SEDIMENT CONTROL IN A RESERVOIR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sedimentation in a reservoir cannot be avoided. The average rate of sedimentation on the storage volume reduction of a reservoir in the world is about 1 % per year (Yoon,1992), meanwhile, the storage volume reduction in several reservoir in Indonesia ...

Air entrainment and splash characteristics in jet flows: Effect of downstream water levels

open access: yesRiver, 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.

A methodology for the design of dam spillways with wedge shaped blocks based on numerical modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Wedge shaped blocks spillways are an innovative solution that allows spilling over the downstream shoulder of earth and rock-fill dams in a safe way. However, they have been barely used as main spillway due to the lack of practical design criteria.

Comprehensive review of innovative construction technology of high‐core rockfill dam: Nuozhadu project

open access: yesRiver, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 135-148, May 2025.
Abstract Underpinned by the ultrahigh‐core rockfill dam at the Nuozhadu Hydropower Station, comprehensive studies and engineering practices have been conducted to address several critical challenges: coordination of seepage deformation in dam materials, prevention and control of high‐water‐pressure seepage failure, static and dynamic deformation ...

Application of the soil parameter random field in the 3D random finite element analysis of Guanyinyan composite dam

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
Due to the inhomogeneous of dam materials, effect of the compaction environment and experimental data errors, the soil properties of the Guanyinyan composite dam present obvious spatial variability, resulting in the occurrence of obvious discordant ...
