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 ...

Comprehensive review of innovative construction technology of high‐core rockfill dam: Nuozhadu project

River, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 135-148, May 2025.
Abstract Underpinned by the ultrahigh‐core rockfill dam at the Nuozhadu Hydropower Station, comprehensive studies and engineering practices have been conducted to address several critical challenges: coordination of seepage deformation in dam materials, prevention and control of high‐water‐pressure seepage failure, static and dynamic deformation ...

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 ...

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.

Water-induced granular decomposition and its effects on geotechnical properties of crushed soft rocks [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010
The widespread availability of soft rocks and their increasing use as cheap rockfill material is adding more to geotechnical hazards because time-dependent granular decomposition causes significant damage to their mechanical properties.

Effect of uncertainties in breach location and breach mechanisms on risk‐related classification of off‐stream reservoirs

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Off‐stream reservoirs are artificial water storage structures that increase the flood risk of an area. In some places, related risk reduction plans are based on a risk classification of these structures, which follows local water resource management regulations. These classification methods typically follow deterministic qualitative guidelines
