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.
