Book excerpt: Dams are critical structures in the sense that damage or breach of even a small dam may cause an unacceptable loss of life and property. Therefore, the safety of dams over the intended lifespan is of utmost importance for unrestricted operation. The basic prerequisites for any safe and successful operation of a dam include state-of-the-art design, experimental investigations of the construction material and properties of the foundation, a refined theoretical analysis of relevant load cases, and high-quality construction. In the past decades, many advancements have been achieved in both construction technologies and design, including those for the prediction of the long-term behavior of dams under various loading conditions. As such, this book examines these advancements with respect to the design, construction, and performance of earth, rockfill, and concrete dams. Over eight chapters, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest progress and research in dam engineering.

E., on "Reservoirs with high Earthen Dams in Western India," published in the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Vol. 132, (1898), is one of the best contributions to the literature on this subject, known to the writer. Mr. Strange states that the rate of filtration of a soil depends upon its porosity, which governs the frictional resistance to flow, and the slope and length of the filamentary channels along which the water may be considered to pass. It is evident, therefore, that the direct rate of infiltration in a homogeneous soil must decrease from the top to the bottom of the puddle trench. The best section for a puddle trench is thus a wedge, such as an open excavation would give. It is true that the uppermost infiltrating filaments when stopped by the puddle, will endeavor to get under it, but a depth will eventually be reached when the frictional resistance along the natural passages will be greater than that due to the transverse passage of the puddle trench, and it is when this occurs that the latter may be stopped without danger, as the filtration to it will be less than that that through it. This depth requires to be determined in each case, but in fairly compact Indian soils 30 feet will be a fair limit. Puddle Wall vs. Puddle Trench. There is a diversity of opinion among engineers in regard to the proper place for the puddle in dam construction. Theoretically, the inner face would be preferable to the center, for the purpose of preventing any water from penetrating the embankment. It is well known that all materials immersed in water lose weight in proportion to the volume of water they displace. If the upper half of the dam becomes...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dams are constructed for economic development, and their construction involves large investments of money, and natural and human resources. Of the various types of dams constructed around the globe, earth dams are the most common type and constitute the vast majority of dams. When adam fails, it culminates in the sudden release of artificially stored water which, in turn, becomes a potential menace to virtually everything downstream. The dam failure may result in loss of life and property. In recent years, instances of dam failure in the world have been too many, and the resulting loss too high. As a result, dam safety pro grams have been developed in most countries of the world since the beginning of the nineteenth eighties. · Earth dams are more susceptible to failure than other types. The cause of failure is often either overtopping or piping. The modeling of dam breaching due to either or both of these causes is of fundamental importance to development of dam-safety programs. This book is, therefore, an attempt to present some aspects of earth-dam breach modeling technology. It is hoped that others will be stimulated to write more comprehensive texts on this subject of growing interest and importance. The book is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter is introductory and discusses some aspects of dams and dam failures in the world.
