Rockfill Dams: Dams with Sloping Earth Cores

Journal of the Power Division, 1958
This paper briefly reviews the principles which govern the design of a rockfill dam and discusses six rockfill dams with which the author has been intimately acquainted since completion of the Nantahala Dam. Bear Creek Dam, one of these six, incorporates most improvements in design and construction learned from experience.

Tehri Rockfill Dam

Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1975
The 260-m high rockfill dam of the Tehri Project in India is to be placed at a site that has complex geology. The dam foundation will be of highly jointed and sheared phyllitic rocks. The region is also seismically active. The design and construction problems examined are: (1) The location of the dam axis; (2) the dam section; (3) the approach to ...

Rockfill Modulus and Settlement of Concrete Face Rockfill Dams

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2003
A method is presented for estimating the modulus of compacted rockfill in dams based on the particle size, unconfined compressive strength of the rock, compaction layer thickness, compactive effort, and the applied vertical stress. Also presented are methods for predicting the crest settlement and face slab deformation of concrete face rockfill dams ...

Rockfill Dams: The Bersimis Sloping Core Dams

Journal of the Power Division, 1958
The Canadian Shield area of the province of Quebec offers some of the world's most favourable sites for development of hydro-electric power. These hydroelectric projects usually involve the construction of large dams. In the past many of the major dams were constructed of concrete, but now, because of modern development in dam construction and also for

Rockfill Dams: The Dalles Closure Dam

Journal of the Power Division, 1958
Construction of a closure dam for The Dalles project in 180-foot depth of water with flows up to 200,000 c.f.s. presented a problem solved by the design and construction of a rockfill structure, two-thirds of which was built under water without use of cofferdams.

Rockfill Dams: Dix River Dam

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1960
Constructed to a height of 275 feet in 1923-25 Dix Dam was then the highest rockfill dam built. Over a period of 33 years considerable data on leakage, maintenance, condition and settlement have be...

Rockfill Dams: The Derbendi Khan Dam

Journal of the Power Division, 1958
Described in this paper are the problems pertaining to the design of a 450-foot high central core rockfill dam. Foundation excavation and preparations for diversion are now under way. The Derbendi Khan project consists of the rockfill storage dam, chute spillway, outlet works, and provisions for a future powerhouse.
