Major Technologies for Safe Construction of High Earth-Rockfill Dams

open access: yesEngineering, 2016
The earth-rockfill dam is one of the primary dam types in the selection of high dams to be constructed in Western China, since it is characterized by favorable adaptability of the dam foundation; full utilization of local earth, rock, and building ...

A State-Dependent Constitutive Model for Unsaturated Rockfill Materials

open access: yes, 2021
This chapter presents a state-dependent elastoplastic constitutive model for both saturated and unsaturated rockfill materials. The model, which is developed within an extended critical-state framework, uses two independent stress state variables: total stress and total suction.

Comparison between Duncan and Chang’s EB Model and the Generalized Plasticity Model in the Analysis of a High Earth-Rockfill Dam

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2013
Nonlinear elastic model and elastoplastic model are two main kinds of constitutive models of soil, which are widely used in the numerical analyses of soil structure. In this study, Duncan and Chang's EB model and the generalized plasticity model proposed

Grouted rockfill a material between rockfill and concrete

open access: yesGeotecnia, 1985
Define-se enrocamento argamassado e compara-se a sua composição, características e processo de execução com outros materiais afins, tais como o simples enrocamento, o betão injectado, o betão cilindrado, o betão ciclópico, o seixo-cimento, o solo-cimento e o macadame.

Constitutive Modelling of Wetting Deformation of Rockfill Materials

open access: yesInternational Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
In this paper, the constitutive framework of hypoplasticity is used to model long-term deformations and stress relaxations of weathered and moisture sensitive rockfill materials. The state of weathering of the material is represented by a so-called solid hardness in the sense of a continuum description.

A particle-breakage critical state model for rockfill material

open access: yesScience China Technological Sciences, 2015
Particle breakage has a significant influence on the stress-strain and strength behavior of rockfill material. A breakage critical state theory (BCST) was proposed to describe the evolution of particle breakage. The breakage critical state line in the breakage critical state theory was correlated with the breakage factor, which was fundamentally ...

Numerical simulation of size effect on shear strength and deformation behavior of rockfill materials

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The scale effect of rockfill materials is crucial to predicting the strength and deformation of earth-rockfill dams. Due to their large particle size and the experimental restrictions, large triaxial tests on full scale samples are seldom conducted.

Long-term deformation characteristics of high concrete-faced rockfill dams under cyclic loading of water

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The long-term deformation of high concrete-faced rockfill dams is one of the key technical problems during their construction. Most studies have attributed the long-term deformation to rockfill creep, but the prototype monitoring data of some high ...

Mechanical behavior of rockfill materials - Application to concrete face rockfill dams

open access: yes
Comportement mécanique des enrochements - Application aux barrages à masque amont en béton. Le barrage poids en enrochement dont l’étanchéité est assurée par un masque en béton sur sa face amont est de plus en plus utilisé aujourd’hui. Son appellation courante est « CFRD1 ».
