Investigation of deformation characteristics of gate and earth–rock dam systems under deep overburden conditions [PDF]
Gate and earth-rock dam systems are the preferred dam types for river sections under deep overburden conditions, low head, and high flow rates. This study established a three-dimensional finite element model incorporating all main structures of the gate ...

Influence of coarse-grained content in the gravelly soil on steady seepage of high earth-rock dam
Gravelly soil has been mostly used as the core material of the high earth-rock dam. When the coarse-grained content of a gravelly soil (referring to the mass fraction, the same below) may exceed 50%, the coefficient of permeability of a gravelly soil is ...

A series of dynamic triaxial tests which used saturated samples of three different particle size distribution anti-filter materials in high earth-rock dams have been investigated for the development of dynamic pore-water pressure. The experimental results show that the relationship between μd/σ'm and N/Nf in the same consolidation condition are unitary
