  5. 4. Internal Erosion and Dam Stability : Analysis of the internal erosion effects on stability of an embankment dam

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Arthur Jedenius; [2018]
    Keywords : Internal erosion stability finite element analysis method plaxis slope seep;

    Abstract : Embankment dams encounter several problems in terms of dam safety. One of those problems is called internal erosion. This phenomenon is induced by the movement of fine particles within the dam due to seepage forces. If the dam is not able to self-heal, the eroded zones will increase which will eventually cause the dam to fail. READ MORE

  6. 5. Safety Analysis of Longtan High Dam Considering the Construction Process

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Henrik Hy; Viktor Hällqvist; [2016]
    Keywords : Longtan Dam; Gravity Dam; Stress distribution; Strain distribution; Distribution of Yield areas;

    Abstract : To manage China’s growing demands of electricity, more and larger dams could be a part of the solution. It is important to evaluate and perform safety analysis for existing dams, in order to improve our understanding and knowledge about future dams. READ MORE
