Rockfill Modulus and Settlement of Concrete Face Rockfill Dams

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering - ASCE, 2003
A method is presented for estimating the modulus of compacted rockfill in dams based on the particle size, unconfined compressive strength of the rock, compaction layer thickness, compactive effort, and the applied vertical stress. Also presented are methods for predicting the crest settlement and face slab deformation of concrete face rockfill dams ...

Practical nonlinear constitutive model for rockfill materials with application to rockfill dam

Computers and Geotechnics, 2020
Abstract In this paper, a nonlinear constitutive model for rockfill materials is proposed to account for the coupling influence of the mean effective stress p and the deviatoric stress q on the deformation of rockfill materials. In the model, the stress-dilatancy relationship derived from the microstructural changes of granular materials is adopted ...

Progress in Rockfill Dams

Journal of Geotechcnical Engineering, 1984
Karl Terzaghi, a major contributor to progress in embankment dams, made significant contributions to the understanding of properties of rockfill and to the improvement of design of the concrete-face rockfill dam. His contributions are noted and followed by a history of parallel development of earth core and concrete-face rockfill dams and the impact of
