Abstract: Particle breakage modifies a rockfill structure, influencing its dilatancy, friction angle, strength, and permeability, as well as generating creep deformation, wetting deformation, and residual strain under a seismic load. ...

Abstract: Wetting deformation of the rockfill material, which is generated by particle sliding, breakage, and rearrangement, plays a vital role in earth-rockfill dam deformation that determines the safety of the dam. However, the ...
