Drainage Gallery in Concrete Gravity Dams and Its Effect on Reduction of Uplift Forces
Engineers consider stability controls such resistance to sliding and overturning when developing gravity dams. Allowable vertical strains at the dam's heel and toe are other...
Study on the Effect of Inclination of Cutoff Wall Beneath Gravity Dams on Uplift Force
Cutoff walls and drainage holes are a strategy for preventing piping or lowering the exit hydraulic pressure gradient or ground-water seepage. Cutoff walls in gravity...
