Rockfill Dams: Review and Statistics
Journal of the Power Division, 1958This paper reviews present practices. It develops a definition, classification and terminology for such dams and for those using earth in addition to rock fill. It discusses the advantages of deck-type dams; also settlement and economy of rock-fill dams. In its appendix it lists rock-fill dams constructed in the United States and in foreign countries.

Hydraulic Conductivity Of Rockfill
Journal of Hydraulic Research, 1978Dimensionless equations for the hydraulic conductivity of crushed rock and river gravel have been developed on the basis of approximately 1250 permeameter tests. Experimental data of a number of researches were used in the correlations. Grain sizes varied from .55 to .79 mm and pore Reynolds numbers were in the range of .001 to 20,000.

A practical method for estimating the shear strength of rockfill is developed. The peak drained friction angle π(prime) is found to be closely related to that of rock joints. In both cases the values of π(prime) are dependent on sample size, stress level, surface roughness, and on the uniaxial compression strength of the rock.

The 260-m high rockfill dam of the Tehri Project in India is to be placed at a site that has complex geology. The dam foundation will be of highly jointed and sheared phyllitic rocks. The region is also seismically active. The design and construction problems examined are: (1) The location of the dam axis; (2) the dam section; (3) the approach to ...

In geotechnical engineering, time-dependent settlement is normally associated with the process of consolidation. In this, settlement behaviour is determined by the rate at which water is able to flow from the voids under a hydraulic gradient, allowing particles to slide into a more compact arrangement.

The construction of Rockfill Embankments, although considered as a process of low difficulty, it presupposes the compliance of the design study with rigorous specifications. In this regard, a meticulous and systematic method of construction is required to ensure the optimum performance of this type of geostructure.
