Assessment the stability of embankment dams during rapid depletion of reservoir

Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Research. - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sensitive parts of dam might be damaged because of various factors during exploiting an embankment dam, for example some cracks might be seen in crust or some phenomena such as hydraulic fracturing in core, piping phenomenon in the downstream wall and reduction of input to the reservoir as a result of deviation in river path. These factors and similar ones will be inevitably followed rapid depletion of the reservoir. Even after an earthquake in dam area rapid depletion of reservoir might be the only solution for preventing dam’s destruction for several hours or some days. Therefore, considering the importance of case, accurate studying about the effects of rapid depletion of the reservoir is necessary to prevent destruction of wall that would lead to dam break through providing appropriate fields about rapid depletion of the reservoir. Environmental problems about assessment the stability of embankment dams during rapid depletion of reservoir and coping strategies with the destruction of the body will be investigated in this article.
