    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Jenny Fu; [2019]
    Keywords : Sodium silicate; water glass; embankment dams; remedial grouting; dam monitoring;

    Abstract : Embankment dams is the most common type of dams in operation inSweden today. Due to the nature of embankment dams, seepage throughthem will always occur. If the seepage velocity exceeds a critical velocity,internal erosion is initiated, which could lead to damage in form of pipingand sinkholes. READ MORE

  6. 15. Experimental Assessment of Contact Erosion in Embankment Dams with Glacial Till Core

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Chinmoy Pattanaik; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Contact erosion is a type of  internal erosion which develops at the boundary between two varying soil layers inside a dam body under the condition of tangential water flow inside the coarser soil parallel to the boundary. As the behaviour of foundation is unknown as the grout curtain starts eroding after a couple of years. READ MORE
