State-dependent 3D multi-mechanism bounding surface model for rockfills

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The rockfill materials have been widely used in the construction of rockfill dams due to their high strength, small deformation and strong permeability. The strength and deformation characteristics of the rockfill materials are essential prerequisites to ...

Multi‐Sources and Modes‐Based Overtopping Risk Model for Gravity Dams Under Extreme Working Conditions

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Addressing the limitations of traditional overtopping risk analysis methods, which either consider only a single failure mode or fail to accurately characterize the nonlinear characteristics of reservoir levels, this paper proposes a novel overtopping risk model for dams.

Non-linear response of the rockfill in a concrete-faced rockfill dam under seismic excitation

open access: yes, 2014
This study investigates the non-linear response of the rockfill in a concrete-faced rockfill dam under seismic excitation for various concrete slab thicknesses from 30 to 100 cm thick. The effect of the friction in the concrete slab rockfill interface on

Long-term deformation characteristics of high concrete-faced rockfill dams under cyclic loading of water

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The long-term deformation of high concrete-faced rockfill dams is one of the key technical problems during their construction. Most studies have attributed the long-term deformation to rockfill creep, but the prototype monitoring data of some high ...

Effect of Normal and Shear Interaction Stiffnesses on Three-Dimensional Viscoplastic Creep Behaviour of a CFR Dam

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2018
Rockfill materials and foundation continuously interact with each other during lifetime of the rockfill dams. This interaction condition alters the viscoplastic behaviour of these dams in time.

Study on breakage behaviour of original rockfill materials considering size effect on particle strength

open access: yesRock and Soil Mechanics, 2020
In high rockfill dam, particle breakage is one of the main factors that lead to dam deformation. However, because of the large size of the rockfill particles, the breakage degree of the prototype rockfill materials is difficult to be measured directly ...
