Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract The Giant Mine (1948–1999) generated 16 Mt of Au‐bearing mill tailings (2800 mg kg−1) originating from a mixture of flotation tailings (84.8 wt%), calcine residues (14.4 wt.%), and arsenic trioxide roaster waste (0.8 wt.%). A water treatment system for high As mine dewatering effluent has operated since the end of mine operations, with the ...

Breach Progression Observation in Rockfill Dam Models Using Photogrammetry
Remote Sensing, 2023 Dam failures are examples of man-made disasters that have stimulated investigation into the processes related to the failure of different dam types. Embankment dam breaching during an overtopping event is one of the major modes of failure for this dam ...

A characterization model for time‐dependent displacement of concrete dams
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 23, Page 3707-3725, 19 September 2025.Abstract Time‐dependent displacement caused by creep and shrinkage can significantly affect the structural performance and even shorten the service life of a concrete structure, which is designed for decades or longer, resulting in a safety risk. Unlike in long‐spanning structures such as bridges, where the time‐dependent displacement is readily ...

Air entrainment and splash characteristics in jet flows: Effect of downstream water levels
River, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 287-296, August 2025.Abstract This study investigates the air–water interaction dynamics in jet streams, with particular emphasis on the transition from the cavity to the far‐field regions. A dual‐tip conductivity phase‐detection probe was employed to analyze four distinct downstream water levels.
