It is important to determine the hydraulic boundary eigenvalues of typical embankment breaches before carrying out research on their occurrence mechanisms and assessing repair technology. However, it difficult obtain conditions levee accurately with minor or incomplete measured data due complexity instability breach. Based more than 100 groups domestic foreign test embankment/earth dam failures...

When embankment is constructed on very soft soil, special construction methods are adopted. One of the techniques a piled embankment. Piled (stone columns) embankments provide an economic and effective solution to problem constructing over soils. This method can reduce settlements, time cost. Stone columns improvement for soils under light structures such as rail or road embankments. The presen...

During the spring of 2003, the downstream slope of an embankment dam began to move during an extreme flooding event. The current study was implemented to evaluate the slope stability of the embankment and as a case-study to compare the limit equilibrium and continuum modeling methods. Initially, stability analyses were performed using conservative shear strength of soils estimated from both bor...

SAR differential interferometry is an innovative space-based measurement technology for ground deformation. Under inclement Qinghai-Tibet plateau environment, monitoring and analysis of railway subgrade deformation using satellite interferometry in plateau permafrost region has very important engineering significance for stability evaluation and safety management. In the paper, a brief descript...

There are various evaluation methods available for the discharge rate passing from the body of dam 1) Analytical methods, 2) Numerical methods and 3) Experimental methods. In the initial stages of dam design, it is necessary to approximately calculate the seepage and board of the project. In this research, almost 600 geometric models have been considered for embankment dam with clay core which ...
