... instrumentation data review found that piezometric pressures close to the head of the slide had increased; however, this did not result in corresponding increases in slope movement. Instrumentation data showed that the 175 m high concrete dam moved downstream during reservoir filling and annually rocks back...

... Abstract This paper discusses the most common forms of drain clogging and its influence on seepage under concrete dams built on permeable rock foundations. The increments of the uplift pressure caused by reduction in drain length or diameter, reduction of its effective flow section, reduction...

... ABSTRACT: In double curvature concrete dams in which the pressure resulted from impounding is imposed to the abutments, choosing the dam site (from a rock mechanics point of view) and recognizing rock properties at the abutments are of paramount importance. One of the most important...
