Local scouring around the piers of bridges has been identified as one of the main problems
contributing to bridge failure globally. As such, the accurate prediction of safe scouring …

Groundwater in Iraq is considered to be an alternative water resource, especially for areas
far away from surface water. Groundwater is affected by many factors including climate …

Local scouring around the piers of a bridge is the one of the major reasons for bridge failure,
potentially resulting in heavy losses in terms of both the economy and human life. Prediction …

Cutoff walls are widely used to limit seepage, pi**, and the uplift under hydraulic
structures. Therefore, this study focused on a numerical investigation of the hydraulic …

Shortage in resources of water in semi-arid region as in Iraq have become an increasing
extent dangerous problem. This research objective to improve a new management …

A Genetic Algorithm model, coupled with Finite Element Programming (GA-FEP), has been
developed to create an optimal design for hydraulic structures to address seepage …

The seepage study through earth dams is very essential for the design and construction
processes of such dams to ensure the needed safety and efficient performance. The present …

Uncertainty quantification plays a crucial role in the design, monitoring, and risk assessment
of earth dams. To reduce the computational burden, we employ a combination of finite …

Seepage and water flow into soil are of the critical factors in the design of earth dams. There
are various methods to control seepage in the dam foundation. One solution is the use of …

Earth dams are built for various reasons these including storage of water, regulation of water
flow, prevention of flooding, and the generation of hydroelectric power. The drain pipes …
