Different from the other roadbed material, the unique mechanical properties of aeolian sand
bring great difficulties to the construction and maintenance of desert highways. However, the …

The main objectives of this study were to determine the susceptibility to suffusion of widely
graded, non-plastic glacial till; to identify potential factors influencing susceptibility; and …

The conventional crumb test (CCT) is a simple and rapid test, originally used for assessing
the dispersive tendency of clayey soils through visual observation of a small-scale soil …

Two mechanisms limiting the progression of internal erosion in zoned dams, potentiated by
the presence of materials located upstream of a damaged core are investigated. These are …

The Pinhole test is an empirical probe with a qualitative classification foundation that
identifies fine-grained soils with dispersive potential using hydraulic heads. However, the …

Segregation is the haphazard separation of particle sizes, particularly in granular,
cohesionless soils, which is preliminarily attributed to materials' construction and handling …

Geotextiles as the filter medium in addition to simple gravel or chimney filter can serve the
purpose of sustainability along with durability, stability and efficiency. This paper reviews the …

In this study, stress-strain analyses of embankment dams with clay core in narrow valleys
are evaluated by means of numerical modeling, considering the longitudinal section along …

L'érosion interne présente des risques sérieux pour la stabilité des barrages en terre et en
enrochements. De nombreux barrages en terre ont été construits ou sont en construction en …

Granular filters are used in embankment dams to protect against uncontrolled flow and
internal erosion either through the embankment or the foundation. For proper performance …
