This study evaluated the behaviour of a concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD) built on river
gravel foundation on the basis of in-situ measurement records and numerical analysis. The …

An increasing number of dams are being built on deep sand and gravel foundations. In this
paper, the stress–deformation behaviour of a concrete-face rockfill dam built on sand and …

Settlement is one of the most important deformation characteristics of a high concrete-face
rockfill dam (CFRD) and is regarded as a key indicator of dam safety. The time-dependent …

Due to the size effects of rockfill materials, the settlement difference between numerical
simulation and in situ monitoring of rockfill dams is a topic of general concern. The …

A new simplified method based on one-dimensional displacement theory and 2-D finite
element (FE) analysis was developed to predict the vertical displacement behavior of a …

The concrete-face rockfill dam (CFRD) has become a preferred dam type, but its design
remains largely based on past experiences. Understanding the behaviour of CFRDs is …

The deformation characteristics of a concrete-faced rock-fill dam (CFRD) during the dam's
construction and initial reservoir filling phases were investigated. A detailed examination of …

In this study, the behavior of Gavoshan dam was evaluated during construction and the first
impounding. A two-dimensional (2D) numerical analysis was conducted based on a finite …

Creep deformation of rockfills affects anti-see page systems, such as concrete face, toe slab,
and peripheral joint. In particular, it may cause structure damage, such as water stop failure …
