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 ...

Effects of Dynamic Properties of Rockfill Materials on Seismic Response of Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dams

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper, the equivalent-linear method is used for three-dimensional seismic response analyses of concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs). Different combinations of various parameters such as small-strain shear modulus, strain-dependent patterns of ...

Static and Cyclic Triaxial Testing of a Compacted Limestone Rockfill

open access: yes, 2013
The results of large scale static and cyclic triaxial tests for the Siah Bishe rockfill are presented. The test specimens are made of a modeled gradation with Dmax of 5 cm, reduced from the real Dmax of 80 cm by scalping method.

Seismic response of earthfill and rockfill embankment dams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The seismic design of earthfill and rockfill dams routinely relies on methods of analysis, which adopt simplifying assumptions regardingthe damgeometry, soil behaviour and the dynamic interaction of the fluid and solid phases

Stabilization of Natural Clay Riverbanks with Rockfill Columns: A Full-Scale Field Test and Numerical Verification

open access: yes, 2011
Rockfill columns have been used to stabilize the clay riverbanks in the Winnipeg area for over two decades. The construction methods used in Manitoba are uniquely adapted to the local soil conditions. The performance of rockfill columns in

Construction Problems with an Earth and Rockfill Dam

open access: yes, 1988
Earth and rockfill dams became popular in the 1960\u27s primarily because of increased heights of dams, poor foundation conditions that rule out concrete dams, and vast improvements in excavation and vibratory compaction equipment.

Safety analysis of rockfill dams during overspill phenomena

open access: yes, 2008
An increasing interest is rising on the study of rockfill embankment dams during overspilling. Design criteria of earth dams are being reviewed in many countries to guarantee an increasing safety level in front of an exceptional flooding.
