Abstract: Seepage from a tailings dam associated with a copper mine located in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China, may affect surrounding groundwater quality during mine operations. A groundwater environmental impact assessment (EIA) ...

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: The analysis of slope stability problems in engineering practice requires considerable attention for the three-dimensional (3D) effect of plan curvature of the slope. This paper quantifies this effect by a dimensionless ...

Abstract: Cracks are ubiquitous in concrete materials and can destabilize a concrete structure, regardless of size or type. This study focuses on the cracking behavior of main and branching cracks in concrete. Compression tests and ...

Abstract: Water inrush events in tunnels are geological hazards that pose a special engineering problem for tunnel construction in water-rich areas. To clarify the engineering background and hydrogeological conditions of water inrush ...
