  2. 1. Internal erosion in embankment dams : fluid flow through and deformation of porous media

    Author : J. Gunnar I. Hellström; Thanasis D. Papathanasiou; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : A basic understanding of fluid flow through a porous media facilitates a comprehensive understanding of internal erosion in embankment dams. Hence, it is necessary to reveal the detailed seepage flow, the flow-induced forces acting within the porous media and the fluid flow deformation of the porous media. READ MORE

  5. 3. Seepage monitoring in embankment dams

    Author : Sam Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Internal erosion, which is one of the major reasons forembankment dam failure, causes an increased seepage flow due toloss of fines. A seepage measuring system is therefore a vitalpart of an embankment dam’s monitoring system. Manyexisting seepage monitoring systems are not however sensitiveenough to detect small changes in the seepage flow. READ MORE

  6. 4. Beyond the deterministic approach - on the feasibility of data assimilation methods in geotechnics

    Author : Amardeep Amavasai; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Embankment; Uncertainty analysis; Data Assimilation; soft soils;

    Abstract : The surge in economic and social development has resulted in significant challenges, especially for linear physical infrastructure. A substantial part of the ageing physical linear infrastructure has been built on problematic soils and often have poorly documented foundation solutions. READ MORE
