Dam Engineering: Design and Analysis

-Focuses on the various aspects of dam engineering, design, and analysis. In-depth coverage of the use of clay-gravel mixtures as impervious core materials in rock fill dams, including considerations for their physical properties and behavior.

-Describes the numerical simulation approach to evaluate the stability of existing embankment dams under different loading conditions and explores the space-time finite element method for seismic analysis of concrete dams.

-Focuses the long-term behavior of coarse-grained rock fill materials and their constitutive modeling and the state-dependent constitutive model for unsaturated rock fill materials.

-Highlights the probabilistic slope stability analysis for embankment dams, including the incorporation of uncertainties and the earth-rock dams' breach modeling, including the development of breach parameters and breach hydrodynamics.

-This is a useful resource for dam engineers, researchers, and students interested in the various aspects of dam design, construction, and analysis.
