Liquefaction of Earth Embankment Dams
Paul C. Rizzo Associates, Inc. (RIZZO) has developed efficient computational tools to evaluate the liquefaction potential of earth embankment dams located within high risk seismic regions. Two relevant case histories are the Saluda Dam and the Santee Cooper East Dam Extension, both structures susceptible to liquefaction, and located in South Carolina. Saluda Dam presents liquefaction risks with...
متن کاملThe Performance of Fly Ash as Fill Material for Embankment Model on Soft Soil
Fly ash is one of coal ashes resulted from power plants using coal to generate electricity. As a result of large utilization of coal, large volumes of coal ash produced as waste material. Direct use of these materials in construction projects, not only provides a promising solution to the disposal problem, but also as an alternative for structural fills material. High shear strength, low compre...
متن کاملConstruction of a test embankment using a sand-tire shred mixture as fill material.
Use of tire shreds in construction projects, such as highway embankments, is becoming an accepted way of beneficially recycling scrap tires. However, in the last decade there was a decline in the use of pure tire shreds as fill materials in embankment construction, as they are susceptible to fire hazards due to the development of exothermic reactions. Tire shred-sand mixtures, on the other hand...
متن کاملStatic and Pseudo Static Study of Stress and Displacement of Earth-Fill Dam Using Layered and Single-Layer Models
Earth-fill dams stability in steady state seepage condition is very important, especially during earthquakes. Numerical software analyses require accurate and realistic modeling of construction stages. Since earth-fill dams are constructed in different layers, so these conditions should be considered in software modeling to achieve a reasonable design. In this study, an earth-fill dam is modele...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cut-off Wall on Seepage and Uplift Pressure under Earth Dam (Case Study: Shamil Dam in Iran)
Design of earth dams and their problems are important during construction and after it,because of their potential hazards and failure for downstream population. The dam foundation seepage control the the importance from the perspective of a major engineering project and explain the economic performance of each project is allocated. among activities that can be used to prevent piping phenomena a...
