Abstract: Non-Darcy flow conditions can develop for flow over a rockfill dam with a wide profile (e.g., a high rockfill dam under construction in a flood period), flow in gravel river reaches, and overland flow. Non-Darcy flow can ...

Abstract: Large‐scale field and laboratory tests were carried out to investigate compaction characteristics of a river terrace gravel soil at the 120‐m high Sao Simao Dam in Brazil. The coarse fraction of the deposit was typically ...

Abstract: The cyclic strength of sand deposits is influenced by a number of factors including density, grain size, previous loading history, in situ stresses, age, particle shape and structure. In the case of uncompacted tailings ...

Abstract: To date there is virtually no information on the behavior of flowthrough rockfill structures in subzero temperatures. This paper presents new insights into this behavior through consideration of the results of laboratory ...

Abstract: This paper describes a synthesis of various studies on non-Darcy flow in rockfill material. Based on pipe theory and Taylor's (1948) definition for mean hydraulics radius in rockfill material, theoretical relationships ...
