A dam is a structure constructed across river which stores water and supplies water for
various purposes. Though the dams have many benefits, there is always a threat of dam …

A simplified physically based model has been developed to simulate the breaching
processes of homogenous and composite earthen embankments owing to overtop** and …

This study attempts to use a dam breach model to reproduce the well-monitored outflow
hydrograph obtained during the dam breaching process of the Tangjiashan barrier lake …

The breach of landslide dam often causes significant disaster in the inundated area; the
prediction of breach hydrograph is in high demand for the dam breach risk evaluation. In this …

Abstract On October 10 and November 3, 2018, two successive landslides occurred at Baige
village, the border between Sichuan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region, in China …

Earth/rock-fill dams and embankments are the main water retaining structures in hydraulic
projects, and they can effectively resist floods and are of great significance for protecting …

Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

This paper presents the results of a modeling study of the hypothetical dam break of
Chipembe dam in Mozambique. The modeling approach is based on the software Iber, a …

For the last decades, the design floods of numerous embankment reservoirs were re-
evaluated, and the revised spillway outflows are typically larger than those used in the …

The Tangjiashan landslide dam was formed during the Ms8. 0 Wenchuan earthquake in
2008 and posed high risks to 1.2 million people downstream the dam. A human risk analysis …
