  1. 1. An Overview of State-of-the-art Hydraulic Conductivity Measurements in Coarse Grained Materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jakob Andrén; [2021]
    Keywords : hydraulic conductivity; permeability; embankment dam; coarse grained; flow regime; hydraulisk konduktivitetsmätning; permeabilitet; fyllnadsdamm; grovkorniga material; flödesregim;

    Abstract : Embankment dams are made from soil materials of varying sizes and widely used all over the world.When constructing these, knowing the hydraulic conductivity (K) of the soil materials is a keyparameter in order to construct safe embankment dams. A knowledge gap regarding K measurementsin coarse grained soils has been identified. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reliability – based analysis of embankment dams

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Xiaochen Liu; [2019]
    Keywords : Embankment dams; reliability-based analysis; slope stability analysis; internal erosion; dam safety; fyllningsdammar; tillförlitlighetsbaserad analys; analys av släntstabilitet; inre erosion; dammsäkerhet;

    Abstract : Embankment dams are widely used as water-retaining structures through the world. Two principal structural failure modes of embankment dams are internal erosion and slope instability. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of applying probabilistic methods in embankment dam assessment. READ MORE
