Dam and powerhouse operation sustainability is a major concern from the hydraulic
engineering perspective. Powerhouse operation is one of the main sources of vibrations in …

Results are presented of laboratory resonant column and cyclic triaxial tests on specimens
of two compacted soils (a sandy–silty clay and a sand–gravel mixture), planned to be used …

We used a global positioning system (GPS), levelling, and Sentinel-1 data to evaluate the
stability of the Darbandikhan dam in northeast Iraq after the 2017 Mw 7.3 Sarpol-e Zahab …

This study examines possible failure mechanisms and dynamic behavior of the Fujinuma
dam, which failed following the 2011 Off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake. The study …

Abstract The 2015 M w 7.8 Gorkha earthquake and its aftershocks caused nearly 9000
deaths and more than 23,000 injuries and triggered thousands of landslides and other mass …

In the first part of this chapter, the compilation of seismic slope deformation case histories is
described. An assessment of the quality and quantity of geotechnical data associated with …

As a mean to assess the risk dam structures are exposed to during earthquakes, we employ
an abstract mathematical, three dimensional, elasto-acoustic coupled wave-propagation …

This study focuses on improving the safety of embankment dams by considering the effects
of vibration due to powerhouse operation on the dam body. The study contains two main …

In the paper the results of assessment of dynamic response of an earth dam in Czorsztyn-
Niedzica, Poland, to a local seismic incident are presented. The shock was registered by a …

Darbandikhan dam is a rockfill dam constructed northwest of Iraq in the early sixties. Even
though the dam is located in a mountain zone with high seismic influence, the dam was not …
