Abstract: The paper presents the results of a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests carried out to study the influence of the rate of strain and load cycles on the undrained shear strength of three undisturbed sensitive clays ...

Abstract: Five riprap stability formulas have been compared and evaluated using the field performance of several riprap across the La Grande Hydroelectric complex. Four of these formulas were developed from regular wave tests (Hudson, ...

Abstract: The performance of riprap with a slope on the order of 1.5:1 to 2.3:1 was evaluated at 14 different dam sites in the James Bay Territory in Northern Québec. The field investigations included gradation measurement at each ...

Abstract: Model tests in a laboratory flume were performed to verify certain hypotheses put forward to explain steep riprap behavior observed in the field at several embankment dam sites. The laboratory study has focused on riprap ...
