The concrete-face rockfill dam (CFRD) has become a preferred dam type, but its design
remains largely based on past experiences. Understanding the behaviour of CFRDs is …

An analytical treatment of an earth and rockfill dam in a radially inhomogeneous multi-
layered semi-cylindrical canyon in a half-space under obliquely incident plane SH waves is …

Assessment of the seismic slope stability in terms of a factor of safety (FoS) is often
addressed using pseudo-static approaches neglecting material-induced failure and the role …

The shear wave velocity profile and dynamic soil properties are known to be affected by
aleatory uncertainty. This paper aims to investigate the effect of a statistical variation in the …

In this paper the seismic response of a well-documented Chinese rockfill dam, Yele dam, is
simulated and investigated employing the dynamic hydro-mechanically (HM) coupled finite …

The primary goal of this study was to examine the cracking behavior of the face plate of a
CFRD over its life cycle. Analyses of the construction stage, impounding, long-term …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of dam–reservoir interaction (DRI) on
the nonlinear seismic response of earth dams. Although DRI effects have for long been …

In this paper the results of 2D dynamic finite element analyses of a zoned earth dam are
presented and discussed with the aim of detecting proper intensity measures able to …

The seismic stability analysis of slopes is frequently analyzed using the method of slices
based on the pseudostatic approach. However, the time response analysis is considered to …

Nonlinear time domain numerical approaches together with elasto-plastic effective stress
soil constitutive models are nowadays available to geotechnical researchers and …
