A new soil water retention curve (SWRC) equation, generalized from previous models and
the latest understanding of soil-water interaction, explicitly accounts for capillary and …

Landslides are often induced or activated by reservoir impoundment within the reservoir
area. In this paper, a physical model test was conducted and compared with another …

This paper uses the San Luis Dam upstream slide to evaluate the pore-water pressures at
failure and progression of the phreatic surface through the fine-grained core for drawdown …

Geotextile is an effective reinforcement approach of slopes that experiences various loads
such as drawdown. The geotextile reinforcement mechanism is essential to effectively …

Traditionally, the seepage through embankments and other geotechnical structures is
estimated using the hydraulic properties of saturated soil. In most cases, the soil is not fully …

Located in reservoir area of Dahuaqiao Hydropower Station in Lancang River, the Dahua
ancient deposit landslide exhibits high possibility of reactivation due to reservoir …

Reservoir filling can affect the landslide stability and cause the landslide deformation within
the reservoir area. In this paper, a physical model test and a series of numerical analyses …

In the design and operation of rockfill dams, an in-depth understanding of the impact of
concrete face cracks on the seepage behavior of rockfill dams is of great significance …

As the number of large reservoirs has grown rapidly, drawdown of water level has become a
major factor in inducing landslides. A new simulator was developed to simulate the in-flight …

In reservoirs and embankment areas, frequent water-level fluctuations, especially water
drawdowns, often produce instability problems or landslides in the slopes overlying …
