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 …

Groundwater flow through fractured rocks has been recognized as an important issue in
many geotechnical engineering practices. Several key aspects of fundamental mechanisms …

This paper presents a constitutive model for the simulation of temperature and relative
humidity effects on concrete expansion due to Alkali–Silica Reaction (ASR). The model was …

Most of the existing methods for dam behavior modeling require a persistent set of input
parameters. In real-world applications, failures of the measuring equipment can lead to a …

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 …

Optimal site selection of a dam is one of the crucial tasks in water resource management. In
this study, a dam suitability stream model (DSSM) is utilized to identify potential sites for …

In this paper, an implementation of an advanced two-surface plasticity interface constitutive
model in a general-purpose finite element code ABAQUS for application in soil-structure …

Due to changes in the environmental load and deformation of rockfill bodies, cracks likely
form and develop in the face slab of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs), affecting the …

Most of the existing methods for dam behavior modeling presuppose temporal immutability
of the modeled structure and require a persistent set of input parameters. In real-world …

This paper aims to present and validate a numerical technique for the simulation of the
overtopping and onset of failure in rockfill dams caused by mass sliding. This goal is …
