Abstract: Postconstruction deformations of some rockfill dams with a slightly inclined or central till (moraine) core are presented. Although deformation still continues, even 30 years after dam construction, for all practical ...

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 ...
