Embankment overtopping protection systems
For the last decades, the design floods of numerous embankment reservoirs were re-evaluated, and the revised spillway outflows are typically larger than those used in the original designs. As a result, a number of overtopping protection systems were developed for embankments and earthfill dams, with applications encompassing river dykes, coastal barriers for storm surge and tsunami protections....
متن کاملPredicting Seismic Slope Displacements of Embankment Dams Using Fuzzy Systems
Iran, as a leading country in the dam construction industry, is located in one of the earthquake-prone regions of the world. Dams are important sources of hydroelectric power. Failure of these structures causes catastrophic damage. Therefore, evaluating the behavior of dams under seismic loading is an important issue. The present study focuses on the prediction of the slope displacements of emb...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in pore water pressure in a grass-covered cut slope in London Clay
In temperate European climates, the season of peak water demand by vegetation (summer) is out of phase with the season of greatest rainfall (winter). This results in seasonal fluctuations in soil water content and, in clay soils, associated problems of shrinking and swelling that can in turn contribute to strain-softening and progressive slope failure. This paper presents field measurements of ...
متن کاملSimulating the water content and temperature changes in an experimental embankment using meteorological data
： ： ： ： An experimental embankment was constructed in Rouen, France. The construction was completed in December 2004. The first objective of this experiment is to investigate the influence of climatic changes on the soil response such as changes in water content and temperature as well as the induced vertical and horizontal displacements; and the second objective is to investigate the soil resp...
متن کاملCHANDLER ET AL.: FIELD CALIBRATION OF WATER CONTENT REFLECTOMETERS Field Calibration of Water Content Reflectometers
Field monitoring of volumetric soil water content (VWC) is critical for a variety of applications. Recently developed electronic soil water sensors provide a relatively inexpensive monitoring option. However, the calibration of these sensors is more sensitive to variations in soil properties than for time domain reflectometry (TDR), which is generally regarded as the best electronic means of VW...
