Abstract: In reservoirs and embankment areas, frequent water-level fluctuations, especially water drawdowns, often produce instability problems or landslides in the slopes overlying bedrocks. A series of centrifuge model tests were ...

Abstract: A group of well-designed centrifuge model tests were conducted to analyze the influence of drying–wetting cycles on the failure and deformation behavior of the slope. The full-field displacement was measured via the image ...

Abstract: The mechanics of the interface between a concrete-face slab and cushion layer gravels plays an essential role in the stability of the concrete face of a concrete-face rockfill (CFR) dam, which is indeed very vital for the ...
