Optimization of horizontal drain dimensions in heterogeneous earth dams using Artificial Neural Network (ANN): A case study on Marvak dam

It is important to design and optimize the dimensions of the dam drainage system to keep the dam's downstream shell dry and to prevent the increase of pore water pressure in the earth dam body. It will also be possible to find the minimum factor of safety (FOS) to reduce construction costs by o...
