The geomorphological setting of some of Scotland's east coast freshwater mills: a comment on Downward and Skinner (2005) ‘Working rivers: the geomorphological legacy...’ [PDF]
, 2005 Many of the water mills on Scotland's east coast streams, unlike those discussed recently by Downward and Skinner (2005 Area 37 138–47), are found in predominantly bedrock reaches immediately downstream of knickpoints (i.e. bedrock steps).

Comparison of Seepage Trough Zoned Earth dam Using Improved Light-Textured Soils
Journal of Engineering, 2022 Seepage through earth dams is one of the most popular causes for earth dam collapse due to internal granule movement and seepage transfer. In earthen dams, the core plays a vital function in decreasing seepage through the dam body and lowering the ...

Stress-strain state of earth dam under harmonic effect [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Stress-strain state of earth dams under the effect of harmonic (seismic) load from the base of the dam is numerically studied in the paper. Rock fill dam has good culvert properties and its water saturation is considered to have no effect on mechanical ...
