Eleven concentrated seepage outlets were identified in the dam toe drainage prism. When the reservoir water level reached 180.0 m, two zones of continuous pressurized water boiling emerged on the dam-facing slope of the toe pond. Based on the geotechnical property parameters of dam materials, a representativ...
The Kulekhani Rockfill Dam at Makawanpur District in Bagmati Province is the Nepal’s one and only large storage hydropower reservoir project that plays a critical role in country’s peak energy generation. The long-term safety assessment of such dam is very crucial because seepage conditions, reservoir operation and rap...
The foundation of the Karkheh Dam comprises a heterogeneous geological profile of highly permeable conglomerate layers interbedded with relatively impervious mudstones. Following the extreme flood events of March and April 2019, the reservoir first reached its normal water level (NWL) of 220 m above sea level and subse...
Riverbank failure offers serious geotechnical and hydraulic dangers to infrastructure, the environment, and the quality of water along fluvial rivers. This study looks at the collapse causes of riverbanks and surrounding embankments over an 8-kilometer stretch of the Euphrates River in Babilon City. An integrated techn...
Connections between earth–rockfill and concrete dams are critical components of hybrid-dam seepage-control systems because material-stiffness contrasts and complex foundation conditions can create localized preferential seepage paths. Using HS Reservoir as a case study, this predictive design-stage assessment employed...
