Research on Temperature Decomposition and Its Influence on Deformation of Rockfill Dams Based on Intelligent Algorithms

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The unclear impact of temperature on rockfill dam settlement and the lack of a solid basis for selecting temperature parameters in prediction models are problematic. These issues significantly limit the accuracy and applicability of deformation monitoring models for rockfill dams.

Multi‐Sources and Modes‐Based Overtopping Risk Model for Gravity Dams Under Extreme Working Conditions

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Addressing the limitations of traditional overtopping risk analysis methods, which either consider only a single failure mode or fail to accurately characterize the nonlinear characteristics of reservoir levels, this paper proposes a novel overtopping risk model for dams.

Air entrainment and splash characteristics in jet flows: Effect of downstream water levels

open access: yesRiver, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 287-296, August 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the air–water interaction dynamics in jet streams, with particular emphasis on the transition from the cavity to the far‐field regions. A dual‐tip conductivity phase‐detection probe was employed to analyze four distinct downstream water levels.

Geophysical imaging of the subsurface seismic structure of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir earth embankment dam (Massachusetts)

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 105-120, April 2025.
Abstract Degradation within a manmade earth embankment structure is often unobservable from the surface. In order to evaluate the structural integrity of earth embankment levees and dams and identify subsurface zones of weakness that may result in the future failures of such structures, various geophysical methods have been proposed as effective ...
