Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study investigates the macro‐meso mechanical evolution of dam rockfill under the coupled effects of coarse‐particle content (P5) and confining pressure (σ3) using large‐scale triaxial tests and PFC3D simulations. The results show (1) shear strength and particle breakage depend synergistically on σ3 and P5.

Construction Problems with an Earth and Rockfill Dam [PDF]
, 1988 Earth and rockfill dams became popular in the 1960\u27s primarily because of increased heights of dams, poor foundation conditions that rule out concrete dams, and vast improvements in excavation and vibratory compaction equipment.
