Abstract: Seepage control is a key technical problem in large-scale underground cavern engineering, and seepage analysis plays an important role in realizing engineering optimization design and safety. The long-term seepage control ...

Abstract: Deformation assessment and control are important issues in the construction of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs). The design and construction of CFRDs require deformation behavior that can be estimated rapidly to support ...

Abstract: The available models for estimating the creep strains of concrete generally assume concrete as a homogeneous material. Since concrete is a composite, such models cannot take into account incompatible strains between cement ...

Abstract: The permeability of a saturated porous medium is regarded as a constant during the seepage process in traditional seepage analysis theory. However, it changes constantly during the piping process. This study will consider ...

Abstract: Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) structures are often destroyed by coupling damage of freeze–thaw and complex loads in cold conditions, resulting in degradation of the mechanical properties of the RCC. In this study, the ...

Abstract: An increasing number of asphalt concrete core wall earthen dams (ACCDs) are being constructed under complex topographical conditions. The narrow or asymmetrical river valleys might lead to significant arching effects and ...

Abstract: Although a number of cutoff walls have been built in dams with alluvial foundations, the produced wall response still requires further understanding. This paper focuses on the comparative study of responses of cutoff walls ...

Abstract: Concrete-face rockfill dams (CFRDs) usually face different safety problems, such as dam cracks caused by uneven deformation, face slab cracking, dam slope instability, and excessive leakage, during their long-term operation. ...

Abstract: Silane coupling agents (SCAs) are a type of antistripping agent for improving the adhesive property between acidic aggregate and hydraulic asphalt. To evaluate the modified effect, find the optimal dosage of SCA, and study ...

Abstract: The design and construction of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs) usually require a rapid and accurate prediction of deformation behavior to support dam optimal design and safety evaluation. Deformation prediction and ...
