Simulation of crest crack in high earth-core rockfill dam using XFEM 2-D modeling

Crest cracking represents a pervasive structural hazard during the construction and operational phases of high earth-core rockfill dams (ECRDs); consequently, the development of history-matched numerical tools is rendered an engineering necessity to prevent catastrophic risks. To address the limitations inherent in tra...
