Dams are built for different purposes, but failure of a dam could result in extreme disasters such as floods. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) was mainly built for power generation, but concerns about its safety, location and site conditions ha...

The dam-break water flow is a complex fluid motion, showing strong nonlinearity and stochasticity. In order to better study the characteristics of the dam burst flood, the smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method was chosen to establish a two-dimension...

The study of embankment breaching is not an easy practice, as it includes various parameters to meet the suitability of the design approach, especially when we consider it for the long term. Embankment breach studies generally include the prediction of d...

Dams are expensive technical constructions that ensure food production, sustain farmers? income, and cover a large percentage of urban water supply demands. However, the threat of a dam break flood, which can be extremely dangerous for the local society,...

This article presents experimental research focusing on the structural failure of the central core of a rockfill dam using sand-bentonite mixtures. It comprised an extensive geotechnical characterization of soil materials and mixtures, including compacti...

Dam embankment breaches caused by overtopping or internal erosion can impact both life and property downstream. It is important to accurately predict the amount of erosion, peak discharge, and the resulting downstream flow. This paper presents a new mode...

In this study, we conducted flood mapping of a hypothetical dam break by coupling the Hydrologic Engineering Center?s Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) and River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) models under different return periods of flood inflow. This stu...

Dam break studies consist of two submodels: (a) the dam breach submodel which derives the flood hydrograph and (b) the hydrodynamic submodel which, using the flood hydrograph, derives the flood peaks and maximum water depths in the downstream reaches of ...

Landslide-generated impulse waves in dammed reservoirs run up the reservoir banks as well as the upstream dam slope. If large enough, the waves may overtop and even breach the dam and cause flooding of the downstream area with hazardous consequences. Hen...

This paper examines two successive debris flows that deposited a total of 1.4 million m3 of sediment into the Parlung Tsangpo River in China in 2010. As a result of these deposits, a partial-debris dam was formed in the river. This dam rerouted the disch...
