Simulation method for crest cracks in high earth core rockfill dams and its application
The crest cracks are the common dangers during construction and operation of high earth core rockfill (ECRD) dams. The occurrence and propagation of the crack increases the safety risk of the project greatly.

Wide grading gravelly soil is an advantageous anti-seepage material in construction of high earth-rock dam. From the experience of earth-rockfill dam construction at home and abroad, it is more and more common to use wide grading gravelly soils such as moraine soil, weathered rock and gravel soil as anti-seepage material in construction of high earth ...

Applicability of additive mass method in density tests on soil-mixture materials
The additive mass method (AMM) has been applied in the density tests on different materials of many earth-rockfill dams. With the development of hydropower projects in recent years, the soil-rock mixtures (S-RM) with wide gradation and high fines content

Creep behavior of rockfill with soft rock under different relative densities
When soft rock is used as the dam embankment materials for high earth-rock dams, large creep deformation may occur, which is very unfavorable to the long-term stability of high earth-rock dams.

ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...
