Large-scale shear box tests to determine rockfill parameters

open access: yes, 2016
A 160 (525 ft) m high asphalt concrete core rockfill dam is developed in an area of very high seismicity in Cetin, Turkey. Topographical constraints of the dam footprint impose a steep outer geometry of the dam, requiring the geotechnical properties of ...

Research on Real-Time Supervisory System for Compaction Quality in Face Rockfill Dam Engineering

open access: yes, 2018
Compaction quality control in filling construction is of great significance to the stability and durability of the face rockfill dam. The conventional method of quality control mainly relies on manual process control and inspection for a limited number ...

Merowe Dam and the inundation of paleochannels of the Nile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The course of the Nile in northern Sudan follows a contorted path through bedrocks, creating the Great Bend. Few years ago, the satellite images showed a fertile strip of land with villages, where paleochannels of the river hosted many fields with ...

EARTH CORE ROCKFILL DAM: INTERACTION OF WATER AND SOIL

open access: yesInternational Journal for Computational Civil and Structural Engineering
Accuracy of results of numerical modeling of the structure stress-strain state (SSS) depends on adequacy of design scheme. At elaboration of design scheme of an embankment dam the important aspect is selection of force loads from water. Water medium may
