Development and initial application of test devices for leakage of earth-rockfill dams

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
To accurately simulate the seepage characteristics of earth-rockfill dams during leakage, a test device is developed. The device can precisely control the test variables such as platform slope, water supply discharge, water temperature, etc.

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 ...

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 ...

New Type of Dam for Longitudinal Reinforced Rockfill Dam and Its Operation Safety Analysis

工程科学与技术, 2019
After a long time operation, a conventional earth rockfill dam (e.g. homogeneous dam or core wall dam) may suffer from a lot of dam diseases such as dam-break, overtopping, landslides and leakage. On the basis of a large number of practices of rebuilding

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.

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.

Geophysical imaging of the subsurface seismic structure of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir earth embankment dam (Massachusetts)

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 105-120, April 2025.
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 ...
