Abstract: Dikes made up of erodible geotechnical materials are easily broken by overtopping flow, which poses a serious threat to human lives and properties in protected areas. In this study, the plane breach of cohesionless dikes ...

Abstract: Excavation of spillways at dam crest is one of the most commonly utilized and effective engineering practices to mitigate the risk of landslide dams. The influence of spillway section shape on the breaching process of ...

Abstract: The behavior of soil–geogrid interaction is a dominant factor in the long-term performance of geogrid-reinforced earth structures. This study investigates the interaction of sandy soil and the embedded geogrid by pullout ...
