To evaluate the earth seismic response due to earthquake effects, ground response analyses are used to predict ground surface motions for development of design response spectra, to compute dynamic stresses and strains for evaluation of liquefaction hazards, and to determine the earthquake induced forces that can lead to instability of earth and earth-retaining structures. Most of the analytical...

Windows Dam Analysis Modules (WinDAM) is a set of modular software components that can be used to analyze overtopped earthen embankments and internal erosion of dams. WinDAM is being developed in stages. The initial computational modules address routing of floods through the reservoir with dam overtopping and evaluation of the potential for vegetation or riprap to delay or prevent failure of th...

Seismic methods were used to locate an impermeable water barrier (density body), constructed in front of a homogenous earth-fill dam (Prätisbach) in Eastern Styria, Austria. This detention reservoir, built in 1985/86, was constructed of locally mined materials. Key to this structures functionality is its impermeable core located within the upstream toe of the dam and parallel to the dam axis. T...

In this study, based on data from instrumentation Kaboodval earth dam, pore pressure, stresses and the meeting of the dam construction period compared with the values ​​of numerical analysis. For this purpose, during the construction of the dam using Mohr-Coulomb model behavior, the softening, hardening model has been analyzed and pore pressure, stresses in the body and its meeting with instrum...
