A three-dimensional elasto-plastic dynamic response procedure for concrete-faced rockfill dams
Equivalent linear dynamic analysis is the primary method of analysis for concrete-faced rockfill dams during earthquake. However, this method cannot be directly used to estimate permanent deformation during earthquake, which is important to evaluate the ...

Extrapolation-Based Scale Effect Model for Granular Heap Modulus
The numerical analysis was used to predict the rockfill dam displacement, and the model parameters were calibrated using the triaxial experiments on scale-down rockfill samples. Due to the scale effect of rockfill material, the displacements were usually

A simulation-optimization approach to determine optimum features of detention rockfill dams under flood condition [PDF]
Detention rockfill dams are one of the structural methods that can control flood risks with no impermeable core or membrane. These dams decrease the maximum discharge of flood hydrograph and postpone the time of its occurrence reducing life and financial
