...Yang Yang; Ting Zhou; Yuxin Jie Weak layers are commonly encountered in earth dams due to construction defects, material failures, and other factors, increasing the risk of seepage failure. Also there are few related studies. This study simulated the seepage failure process of earth dams with weak...

...Abdullah Tolga Özer, BSc, MSc, PhD; Onur Akay, BSc, MSc, PhD This study investigates the behaviour of basal-reinforced embankments under seepage flow. For this purpose, physical embankment models with dimensions of 195 cm long, 100 cm wide and 110 cm high were constructed in the laboratory...

... often raised in TSF operation are uncertainties surrounding likely seepage to the environment and accurate prediction of seepage surfaces for input into stability assessment. Critically, TSFs are much more complex than the current numerical models conventionally assumed. This paper presents techniques...

...Yu Wang; Shi Jun Wang; Xiang Bao Duan; Yan Chang Gu; Qiong Pang; Chao Yang Seepage failure is one of the main factors of earth-rock dam break. The identification of piping behaviour, the calculation of critical hydraulic gradients and the applicability of controlling measures are more concerned...
