Experimental investigation of failure modes and breaching characteristics of natural dams
The failure mode and breaching time of a natural dam are affected by many factors. To comprehensively analyse the effects of these factors on dam failure modes, 159 runs of laboratory experiments were performed with 11 channel bed slopes, 4 dam geometric shapes, 3 construction materials, and 8 inflo...
