[ 1 ] - Investigation of Relief Wells Performance in Decreasing Uplift Pressure in Foundation of Embankment Dams

The design of relief wells includes determination of the distance of relief wells from each other, their distance from the dam upstream, the well diameter and discharge into each wells. This study tends to investigate these factors effect on uplift pressure in earth dams. For this purpose, finite elements method (FEM) was used for different configuration of relief wells in downstream of an eart...

[ 2 ] - Numerical Simulation of Effect of Drain Pipe in Uplift Force and Exit Hydraulic Gradient in Gravity Dams

In this study, the effects of diameter and location of drain pipe in uplift force and exit hydraulic gradient in the foundation of gravity dams are investigated. For this purpose, a numerical model of gravity dam foundation is simulated using finite elements method. The results indicate that drain pipe under the gravity dam reduces the uplift force and exit hydraulic gradient. Location of the d...
