Initial Hypotheses for Modeling and Numerical Analysis of Rockfill and Earth Dams and Their Effects on the Results of the Analysis

Since the behavior of earth dams is unreliable in different stages of construction, impounding, and exploitation, this matter is an unavoidable and essential issue with regard to the serious dangers caused by the failure of these important structures. It is crucial to evaluate the behavior of dams a...
