Abstract Degradation within a manmade earth embankment structure is often unobservable from the surface. In order to evaluate the structural integrity of earth embankment levees and dams and identify subsurface zones of weakness that may result in the future failures of such structures, various geophysical methods have been proposed as effective ...

Study of Stress and Deformation of High Concrete-Face Rockfill Dam on Steep Slope in Narrow Valley
At present,in the finite-element stress and strain calculation of rockfill dams,fixed support is mostly adopted to simulate the connection between the rockfill at the bank slope and the slope.As for a concrete-face rockfill dam (CFRD) in the steep slope ...

Influence of particle crushing on the critical state line of rockfill materials [PDF]
The mechanical behaviour of rockfill materials is strongly affected by particle breakage, which causes a continuous variation of the grain size distribution (GSD) until a stationary condition.

Research on Failure Modes and Causes of 100-m-High Core Wall Rockfill Dams
Rockfill dams are the most competitive type of dam in complex geological environments. Identifying the failure modes and causes in high dams over 100 m is critical for better guiding high dam designs and implementing safety prevention and control ...
