Deformation of rockfill in bodies of rockfill dams

Stroitel stvo nauka i obrazovanie [Construction Science and Education], 2019
Introduction. The main factor determining the stress-strain state (SSS) of rockfill dam with reinforced concrete faces is deformability of the dam body material, mostly rockfill. However, the deformation properties of rockfill have not been sufficiently studied yet for the time being due to technical complexity of the matter, Materials and methods. To

Influence of the Uncertainty in the Dam‐Breach Hydrograph on the Flood Hazard Assessment in a Valley Area

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...

Research on Temperature Decomposition and Its Influence on Deformation of Rockfill Dams Based on Intelligent Algorithms

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The unclear impact of temperature on rockfill dam settlement and the lack of a solid basis for selecting temperature parameters in prediction models are problematic. These issues significantly limit the accuracy and applicability of deformation monitoring models for rockfill dams.

Field compaction tests on rockfill dams based on surface settlement method

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
Changheba Dam has been a world-class high rockfill dam in China with the second highest height and the first largest filling volume in the world. The dam body is the dam shell filled by the local rock, and its compaction quality directly affects the dam ...

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

Water 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.

Hubungan Antara Elevasi Muka Air Waduk Dan Panjang Lintasan Rembesan Terhadap Debit Rembesan Pada Bendungan Urugan Batu Inti Tegak (Studi Kasus Bendungan Jatibarang)

Jurnal Teknik Hidraulik, 2019
Rockfill dams have better stability than homogeneous soil dams. It allows to design the dam more slim with a higher slope. The disadvantage of rockfill dam is in the core zone as an impermeable zone.

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.
