in the first impounding of rockfill dams, additional settlements occur in upstream side in saturated rockfills due to collapse phenomenon even high rainy seasons can cause additional deformation in the dumped rockfills. unfortunately these displacements are not taken into account in the conventional numerical models which are currently used to predict embankment dam behavior during impounding. ...

The configuration and safety factor of rockfill dams design depend on materials used in construction the dam. In some regions, available for using as impermeable element dam body are dispersive it is inevitable to consider dispersivity material construction. Internal erosion through cracks or other openings embankment most concern soils. authors have designed an by soil East Africa after finali...

Tailings dams are built to safely store tailings and protect the natural environment from damage. However, dam accidents occur frequently, endangering safety of life property, causing pollution environment. Many caused by seepage. As such, this study takes No. II Ledong Baolun Gold Mine in Hainan Province as an example builds a two-dimensional finite element model simulate seepage field. The ef...

A slope formed when there is a height difference between two points of the ground surface. Limited or ambiguous data defined in the studying of the slip surface have always been posed as a challenge to engineers and geologists; however, previous studies presented the useful strategies for resolving this challenge. In general, Multi Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) (with three input, output and hidden l...

Analysis of seepage and stability is considered as an important case in designing which today, withadvanced numeric software acceptable results will be obtained before and after Construction. In thepresent study, the behavior of earth dam against effective factors was investigated by softwareAnsys12. The studied dam is Maroun soil dam, which is located in 19Km north of Behbehan andconstructed o...
