The influence of membranes on tests of coarse-grained materials at low cell pressures

open access: yes, 2014
In triaxial tests on small specimens of sands/silts and clays, cell pressures are usually greater than 100 kPa and membranes are relatively thin (~0.3 mm).

Knowledge Extraction via Machine Learning Guides a Topology‐Based Permeability Prediction Model

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract The complexity and heterogeneity of pore structure present significant challenges in accurate permeability estimation. Commonly used empirical formulas neglect its microscopic and topological characteristics, thus lacking accuracy and adaptability. While machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models demonstrate promising performance, but

Probability Analysis Method of Seismic Response for Earth-Rockfill Dams

open access: yes
AbstractSeismic response probabilistic analysis for earth-rock dams is a crucial step in performance-based seismic safety evaluation. It represents a significant transition from deterministic analysis to stochastic analysis. To conduct such an analysis, it's essential to thoroughly consider the uncertainties associated with the seismic response of ...

Research on Method of Dynamic Stability Analysis for Slopes of Earth and Rockfill Dam Basing on the P-Z Model

open access: yes, 2018
According to the problems in dynamic stability analysis for slopes of earth and rockfill dam, the P-Z constitutive model, which is a kind of the multi-mechanism plastic model based on generalized plasticity, is introduced in the paper. Strength reduction

Ultimate a seismic capacity of high earth-rock dams based on stochastic dynamic analysis

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The randomness of seismic motion significantly affects the dynamic response of dams. The ultimate capacity is a critical factor for the seismic safety of dams, thus during the assessment process the influences of load randomness should be thoroughly ...

Deformation and cracking in rockfill dams : case of Jatiluhur dam

open access: yes, 2004
Rockfill dams are embankment type of dams whose stability primarily depends onrock properties. The term rockfill dam usually represents a dam that contains morey of its foundations and the occurrence of cracks mayause serious problems in embankment dams.

Dynamic probability evaluation of safety levels of earth-rockfill dams using Bayesian approach

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2009
AbstractIn order to accurately predict and control the aging process of dams, new information should be collected continuously to renew the quantitative evaluation of dam safety levels. Owing to the complex structural characteristics of dams, it is quite difficult to predict the time-varying factors affecting their safety levels.

Rockfill dams – downstream riprap and dam toe : FoU-project 80409 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The Norwegian regulations for dam safety and the guidelines on embankment dams include requirements for erosion protection of upstream and downstream slopes of embankment dams. Two recent PhD-studies at NTNU have focused on riprap design on rockfill dams

Research on Wall Displacement and Dynamic Earth Pressure of Concrete–Rockfill Combination Dam Under Earthquakes

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2020
The concrete-rockfill combination dam (CRCD) is mainly composed of the upstream concrete wall and downstream declivitous rockfill. As a new type of dam structure, its dynamic characteristics are not studied thoroughly so far.
