Flowthrough and overtopped rockfill dams.

open access: yes, 1996
The emphasis of this thesis is on the derivation of original results or improvement to the available results in order to obtain a practical design methodology for overtopped rockfill dams. The work comprised of experiments in a large hydraulic flume, and

Contrasting Abiotic and Biotic Predictors of Diatom Resource Use Efficiency in a Megadam‐Regulated River

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Megadam regulation was associated with contrasting relative importance of abiotic and biotic predictors of diatom chlorophyll‐based resource use efficiency. Reservoir RUE was more strongly associated with phylogenetic diversity, network complexity, and stability, whereas downstream RUE was mainly associated with turbidity, temperature, and nutrient ...

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 303-324, August 2026.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

Influence of the Uncertainty in the Dam‐Breach Hydrograph on the Flood Hazard Assessment in a Valley Area

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...

Comparative Analysis of Seepage Control Measures for the Foundation of a High Asphalt Concrete Core Rockfill Dam

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The antiseepage curtain is one of the main antiseepage measures for asphalt concrete core rockfill dams. Taking Huanglong Pumped Storage Power Station as an example, this study established a three‐dimensional seepage model including the dam and the dam foundation antiseepage curtain.

The Spatial Gradation Characteristics and Intensity Evolution Law of Mine Dump

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Most of the mine dumps have very prominent slope stability problems. In this paper, by analyzing the gradation characteristics and spatial distribution characteristics of the discharged particles, the functional relationship between the characteristic particle size parameters and the relative height of the dump was obtained.
