This book was released on 1972 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this research was to develop analytical procedures which may be used to analyze the effects of reservoir filling on the stresses and movements in earth and rockfill dams. This study also includes a review of the behavior of embankments during reservoir filling, and an experimental investigation of the effects of water on the properties of granular materials. When movements develop in dams and foundations, cracking and consequent erosion and failures have been observed in a number of dams. One of the major factors contributing to the development of differential movements during reservoir filling is the compression due to wetting which occurs in a wide variety of different types of soils. Procedures developed to analyze the effects of wetting were incorporated in a plane strain finite element computer program, which is also capable of representing other effects of water such as seepage and buoyant loads for soil masses with arbitrary shapes and boundary conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation involves two parts: first, an experimental investigation to study the phenomenon of hydraulic fracturing under carefully controlled laboratory conditions; and second, an analytical investigation to determine the conditions under which the stresses in the cores of zoned dams may be reduced sufficiently by arching so that hydraulic fracturing can occur. Analyses were also performed to examine the effectiveness of various countermeasures which can reduce the arching and the likelihood of hydraulic fracturing.

Download or read book Dam Maintenance and Rehabilitation written by J.A. Llanos and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the life of a dam, changes in safety standards, legislation and land use will inevitably occur, and functional deterioration may also appear. To meet these challenges, these Proceedings from a panel of international experts assess, define and re-evaluate the design criteria for the construction of dams and the many attendant issues in on-going maintenance and management. Authors include international specialists: academics, professionals and those in local government, utilities and suppliers. Practitioners from these same fields will find the book a useful tool in acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of managing and retrofitting dams, so that they can continue to meet society's needs.

This book was released on 2011-08-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents contributions to the 9th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials held in Porquerolles, France, May 23-26, 2011. This series of conferences, started in the early 1980s, is dedicated to the research on degradation and instability phenomena in geomaterials. The volume gathers a series of manuscripts by brilliant international scholars reflecting recent trends in theoretical and experimental research in geomechanics. It incorporates contributions on topics like instability analysis, localized and diffuse failure description, multi-scale modeling and applications to geo-environmental issues. This book will be valuable for anyone interested in the research on degradation and instabilities in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering, appealing to graduate students, researchers and engineers alike.

Download or read book Advances in Unsaturated Soils written by Bernardo Caicedo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New theories and testing techniques related with Unsaturated Soil Mechanics have proven to be valuable tools to study a broad spectrum of geo-materials which includes rocks, rock fills, frozen soils and domiciliary solid wastes. These new theories and testing techniques have permitted the analysis of several traditional problems from a new perspective (e.g., swelling or collapsible soils and compacted soils or pavements materials), and they have also shown their efficiency to study new energy-related problems like CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste disposal. Advances in Unsaturated Soils is a collection of papers from the 1st Pan-American Conference on Unsaturated Soils organized in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in February 2013. The volume includes 76 research papers coming for all over the world, as well as 7 keynotes papers by well known international researchers. The contributions present a variety of topics including: • Advances in testing techniques • Unsaturated soil behavior • Constitutive modeling and microstructure • Numerical modeling • Geotechnical problems Advances in Unsaturated Soils is expected to become a useful reference to academics and professionals involved in Unsaturated Soil Mechanics.
