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 …

In recent years, an increasing number of rockfill dams have been constructed in many
developing countries around the world. One difficulty in the engineering design and …

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 …

In this study, sprayable strain-hardening fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCC)
were applied to strengthen the concrete slabs in a concrete-face rockfill dam (CFRD) for the …

This paper presents a series of finite element analyses aimed at investigating the influence
of dam geometry, which in turn depends on the valley shape, on the settlement behavior of …

This paper improves the elasto-plastic model with double yield surfaces in the context of the
hardening soil model for the simulation of the settlement behavior of high rockfill dams. The …

Concrete cut-off walls are the main seepage control measures for the alluvial foundation of
earthen dams. Its mechanical behaviour, which is affected by many factors, is complicated …

The recent focus on water conservancy projects globally has resulted in the construction of
increased numbers of concrete face rockfill dams in narrow valleys. However, valley …

The gradation equation is used to mathematically express the particle size distribution (PSD)
of soils. In this paper, a simple and practicable gradation equation and its applications to …

Deformation monitoring is of importance to ensure the operation status of concrete-face
rockfill dams (CFRD). This paper reported a novel fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) monitoring …
