The Cidanau Dam, located at Banten Province, Indonesia, has been designed to have a diversion tunnel on the dam’s left abutment divert river water during earth-fill dam construction. is proposed horse-shoe form with 413 m in length and 5 inner diameter. This research aimed determine support systems design of Dam’s based rock mass characterization classification obtained by surface engineering g...

There are varieties of techniques for calculating natural frequency of the structures. Nevertheless, these equations are less developed in the geotechnical structures such as slopes, buttress group, dams, and retaining walls. In earth dams, with respecting to the dimensions and weight of dam, soil-structure interaction is of prime importance for finding seismic parameters including natural freq...

seepage analysis through earth dams is employed to determine the water loss. moreover, as the magnitude of pore pressure in dam body is calculated using seepage analysis, this analysis plays an important role on the stability analysis in these types of structures. as the hydraulic conductivity of the earth dam materials, is considered as one of the effective parameters on the magnitude of seepa...

relief wells are used extensively to relieve excess hydrostatic pressure in pervious foundation strata overlain by impervious top strata, conditions which often exist landward of levees and downstream of dams and hydraulic structures. placing well outlets in below-surface trenches or collector pipes helps dry up seepage areas downstream of levees and dams. relief wells are often used in combina...

In spite of the fact that the effect of earthquake on earth dams has been widely studied during the past decades, the complicated behavior of such earth structures against different seismological characteristics is still unknown. Such ambiguities necessitate more accurate studies using more comprehensive computation tools to achieve new results describing the behavior of such structures subject...

according to the former researcher’s presented relations for flow through rock-fill porous media, the effects of physical characteristics was not studied separately. hence, due to the application of these relations, physical characteristics of porous materials effect must be investigated separately. in various constructed physical models of porous media, the effect of several variables such as ...
