The response of an earth dam to seismic loading is studied through displacement-based analyses and finite element, effective stress dynamic analyses. Displacement-based …
Monitoring surface deformation on dams is commonly carried out by in situ geodetic surveying, which is time consuming and characterized by some limitations in space …

The paper illustrates theoretical and experimental procedures adopted to characterize the seismic response of earth dams by performance-based criteria. The study refers to a real …
This thesis examines the pre and post failure deformation behaviour of landslides in cut, fill and natural soil slopes, and of the deformation behaviour of embankment dams. The …
The paper describes and interprets watertightness problems that occurred in two Italian earth dams: the Polverina Dam, a zoned earth dam with vertical clay core, and the Zoccolo …

Many earth dams are damaged by shearing under seismic stresses effect. In Algeria, earthquake of 21 May 2003, of magnitude Mm= 6.9 on Richter scale, considered as the most …
In the geotechnical field, the risk related to slope instabilities or collapse of geotechnical structures are increasingly being faced by early warning systems, capable of:(1) predicting …
