Effects of Grain Size Distribution on Landslide Dam Breaching—Insights From Recent Cases in China
Landslide dams are common geological features in mountainous areas, which may have serious consequences due to sudden breaching of the dam. An effective emergency response requires rapid and accurate forecasts regarding the landslide dam breach process ...

Numerical model for breach of concrete face sand-gravel dams due to overtopping
Based upon the data of field investigations and back analysis of centrifugal model tests for the beach case of the Gouhou concrete face sand-gravel dam (CFSGD), a numerical model for breach of CFSGD is developed. The major highlights of the model are the

Numerical analysis of optimization of revetment structures of soil bank slopes of inland rivers
The revetment structure can reduce the damage of soil bank slopes caused by water erosion, but its influences on the physical and mechanical processes such as seepage and deformation of the existing bank slopes should be fully considered in practice ...

Numerical modeling of breach process of landslide dams due to overtopping and its application
As a production of natural process, the landslide dam has poor structural stability, and most of which will finally fail due to overtopping, which will pose tremendous risks to the people and property in the inundated area.

Numerical modeling of earthen dam breach due to piping failure
Based on model tests of earthen dam breach due to piping failure, a numerical model was developed. A key difference from previous research is the assumption that the cross-section of the pipe channel is an arch, with a rectangle at the bottom and a ...

Experimental study on effects of gradation on strength and deformation of coarse-grained soil
Eight large-scale triaxial tests on coarse-grained soil with different lithologies are carried out. The effects of gradation on strength, deformation, dilatancy and particle breakage characteristics of coarse-grained soil are discussed.
