Abstract: This paper re-evaluates the Edenville earth dam that failed in 2020 after a rapid rise in reservoir level caused by prolonged significant rainfall. The dam instability and possibility of static liquefaction–induced flow ...

Abstract: The mechanical and hydraulic properties of granular materials are fundamentally affected by the grain size and shape. Three samples of uniformly graded quartz sand with different size ranges were subjected to one-dimensional ...

Abstract: The plate-load test (PLT) is widely performed at large dam sites to determine the rock mass deformability. Analytical relations based on the theory of elasticity, as suggested by the International Society for Rock Mechanics ...
