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 present study focuses on the flow discharge under the embankment dams with clay
core. Using numerical analysis, the effect of the cutoff wall and horizontal drain on the flow …

This work presents the natural and anthropogenic drivers of a landslide event in the city of
São José dos Campos, Brazil. By using stability analysis coupled with transient flux in non …

Concrete cutoff walls are becoming more widely used to control foundation seepage for
earth–rock dams built on a thick soil foundation because of the urgent demand for …

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 …

A genetic algorithm (GA) model coupled with finite element modeling was developed here to
find the optimal values of inclination angle and cutoff location for a hydraulic structure of a …

Although a number of cutoff walls have been built in dams with alluvial foundations, the
produced wall response still requires further understanding. This paper focuses on the …

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 …

A Genetic Algorithm technique, linked with a numerical solver model (Finite Elements)(GA-
FEM), has been evolved to compute the optimal hydraulic design for a safe hydraulic …

The seepage reduction in embankment dams is essential to their stability and safety. This
research aims to evaluate the effects of penetration depth (16, 18, 20, 22, 24 m), distance …
