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...

The rockfill structures are widely constructed throughout the world and rockfills are largely used in these structures as main materials or filler materials. In the crust of earth dams, the rockfill materials role is to stabilize the body of the dam, however, the behavior of these materials in Particular their shear strength is not fully understood. In this study, different tests have been cond...

Generally seepage analysis and stress–strain analysis are conducted separately in the analysis of dams with varied water levels, which neglects the impact of soil deformation on seepage. The impact, however, is significant when the water level varies greatly. In this study, a simplified approach for consolidation analysis of unsaturated soil is used to conduct numerical simulations of water-fil...

How to accurately determine the mechanical parameters of rockfill is one of the key issues of concrete-face rockfill dams. Parameter back-analysis using internal or external monitoring data has been proven to be an efficient way to solve this problem. However, traditional internal or external monitoring methods have limitations in efficiency and long-term monitoring. In this paper, the displace...

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of environmental parameters onthe abundance of monkey goby Neogobius pallasi. A total of 526 and 163 individuals ofmonkey goby specimens were caught by electro-shocker in the Kaboodval and Shirabad Streams, respectively. The ranges of total length of the specimens in Kaboodval and Shirabad Streams were respectively 22-137.55 mm and 32.64-137....

In view of the problem insufficient storage capacity original landfill site, it is a very economical and effective way to use horizontal, longitudinal composite extension garbage dam with geotextile reinforced earth dam. this paper, types dam, technology, reinforcement method stability are introduced discusses advantages disadvantages retaining, construction technology analysis influencing fact...

pressurized injection operation means the pressurized injection of a liquid or solution into pore of a mass of soil or stone and/ or cavity between them and built structures. the injected mortar mustconstitute a soil and/ or jel- like matter inside the cavites, and/ or the operations of the injection must cause sedimentation of the solid matter suspending in these cavites. the primary purpose o...

The evolutions of practices of seismic slope stability analysis of earth embankment/dam are discussed in this paper. The basic concepts of various methods, salient features, advantages and limitations of each of them are elucidate. Methods for both stability analysis and deformation calculation are presented. Methods for calculation of deformation of post liquefaction stage are also briefed.
