Seismic Rehabilitation of Sardis Dam
Extensive subsurface investigation of the embankment dam revealed the existence of a weak layer of silt and soft clay in the original topstratum clay underlaying the upstream shell of...

Seismic Stability Modification Requirements for Pineview Dam
Pineview Dam is located 8 km upstream from Ogden, Utah, and about 8 km from the Wasatch Fault Zone. Preconstruction information and construction records available at the outset of the...

Liquefaction Potential Leads to Dam Reconstruction
Results of a visual inspection of the Dundee Dam conducted in 1982 revealed the presence of seepage on the downstream toe of the left embankment. Subsequent subsurface explorations and...

Using Innovative Technologies and Geosynthetics in Embankment Dam Rehabilitations
The ever increasing development and confidence in new and innovative technologies such as geosynthetics, in conjunction with often significant economic advantages, have led designers to...

Construction and Verification of Ground Improvements at Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam
Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam, part of the Folsom Dam and Reservoir Project near Sacramento, California, is founded on alluvial materials that were dredged and processed for gold on several...

Rehabilitation of the Deep Creek Lake Dam
This paper presents the rehabilitation design for upgrading the Deep Creek Lake dam. The Deep Creek dam is a rock fill dam, 92 feet (28 m) high and 1290 feet (393 m) long, and constructed...

Trial Lake Dam Reconstruction
Trial Lake Dam is located in the Uinta National Forest in Central Utah at an elevation of about 10,000 feet. The dam is 50 feet high and stores 1,700 acre-feet of water for downstream...

Dam Safety: A State's Perspective
The State's role in the rehabilitation of dams is discussed. The author presents a national picture of dam safety, describes some dam failure statistics on type of dams that have failed,...

Seismic Safety Modification of an Old Earthfill Dam
Chollas Dam was built as a water supply reservoir for the City of San Diego. The reservoir is no longer a part of the municipal water system but has been operated since 1966 as a recreational...

Wynoochee Lake and Dam?Flood Storage Reevaluation Study
With the desire to increase the revenue generating potential of the Wynoochee Lake and Dam Project the cities of Tacoma and Aberdeen, Washington, have pursued the potential for retro-fitting...

Analysis of Operating Criteria: Multiple Lakes at Voyageurs National Park
An overview of lake and river regulation at Voyageurs National Park, which resides on the Minnesota-Ontario border, is given to demonstrate how water policy agreements can work. In 1905...

Hydrologic and Structural Considerations for the Initial Filling of Jiguey Dam, Dominican Republic
This paper describes the hydrologic and structural considerations of the initial filling of Jiguey Dam which is locate on the Rio Nizao about 100 kilometers west-northwest of Santo Domingo...

Stress Analysis in Concrete with Cooling Pipes
A substructure method of finite element analysis is adopted in this paper to simulate heat transfer and thermal stresses in a concrete dam. The massive concrete structure is cooled by...

Plastic Limit Analysis of Arch Dams
This paper applies the lower- and the Upper- bound theorems of the plasticity theory to arch dams, according to different forms of discretization for dam, two methods, namely the structural...

A Model and Realization of Intelligence CAD System
This paper describes a model of intelligent CAD system for arch dams and it's characters on intelligence, structure and application. The paper describes the practice method from the content,...

Intelligent Optimal CAD (IOCAD) for Arch Dams
The artificial intelligence, optimization methods and CAD techniques are mixed to develop an integrated system for design of arch dams. It includes a knowledge base, a data base, a stress...

Nonlinear Trial Load Method of Arch Dams
The trial load method is still an important method for the stress analysis of arch dams at present. However, the trial load method can be used only for the linear elastic analysis of arch...

The Reliability Program in Truncated JC Method
JC method is in common use in the structure reliability analysis. In this paper, the program which can be used as to consider the truncated distribution has been proposed, With this method...

Graph?database of Large Dams in China (GLDC)
GLDC is a software with the dynamic processing and categorizing of the main graphs and data of the large dams in China. It can run by means of screen sidebar menu and in interactive mode...

Rive, Rive-Grown and Burst Probability of Rolled Compressive Concrete Arch Dam
The rive, every step of the rive grown and even burst of arch dam are regarded as sequence random events. Making use of the probability theory and the achievement of elastic, elastic-plastic...
