Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of uncertainty in the hydraulic conductivity and van Genuchten fitting parameters used for unsaturated flow modeling of transient seepage through embankment dams. Random variables of the ...

Abstract: Earth-fill dams should be monitored during the first filling of the reservoir to avoid several potential risks. Following the completion of dam construction, the primary safety check is monitoring the dam behavior during ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the reduction of flood depth in a channel due to an engineered levee breach. Different combinations of inflow hydrographs, breach openings, and floodplain storage areas ...
