2. 1. On the Assessment of Internal Erosion of Dam Cores of Glacial Till

   Author : Hans Rönnqvist; Kaare Höeg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

   Abstract : The objective of this study is twofold; on the one hand it investigates the susceptibility to suffusion of glacial till, and, on the other, it presents approaches to evaluate internal erosion susceptibility of dams composed of this type of core soil. Concentrated leak erosion, backward erosion, contact erosion, and suffusion erosion are the mechanisms associated with the initiation of internal erosion. READ MORE

4. 2. Predicting surfacing internal erosion in moraine core dams

   Author : Hans Rönnqvist; Anders Wörman; Hans Bergh; Kaare Høeg; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; internal erosion; internal stability; filters; moraine core; embankment dams; sinkholes; internal erosion assessment; Geoengineering and mining engineering; Geoteknik och gruvteknik;

   Abstract : Dams that comprise broadly and widely graded glacial materials, such as moraines, have been found to be susceptible to internal erosion, perhaps more than dams of other soil types. Internal erosion washes out fine-grained particles from the filling material; the erosion occurs within the material itself or at an interface to another dam zone, depending on the mode of initiation.
