The managed recharge of groundwater is a stable and newfound technique which has already produced successful results and is expected to solve many of the problems of water resources, particularly in arid and semiarid areas. Artificial recharge of aquifers is considered as a strategy for the improvement of groundwater resources and their storage capacity to compensate for the damages inflicted o...

Considering the high seismic potential in most parts of Iran, the importance of studying the behavior of earth dams under earthquake loading, especially in the southern regions, is very important due to the number of these dams and seismicity of the Zagros mountain range. In recent years, many studies have been performed on the effects of earthquakes on earth dams, but these structures exhibit ...

Increasing the pore water pressure in the body of dams will reduce the effective stress and thus reduce the shear strength of the body materials of the dam, which can lead to dangerous results and cause instability of earth dams. According to nonlinear behavior of earth dam, behavioral models of Mohr–Coulomb and hardening soil model are used to model the dam and body materials. In this study, u...

The objective of this study was to investigate how the earth dam is destroyed due to the effect of upstream and downstream slope of the body in overflow conditions. Therefore, eight models were provided that each model is constructed from the embankment dam with different upstream and downstream slopes (1:1, 2:1) and the soil properties (Sc) on breach formation. The time and method of dam break...
