Experimental Investigation of Propagation of Sediment Due to Earth-fill Dam Break

Ebru Taşkaya

As a result of the break of an earth-fill dam, the materials carried from the dam body may cause changes and destruction in the ground in the downstream region with the effect of the flood wave. Although there are extensive studies on breach development and flow effects experimental and modeling studies in the literature on dam breaks, sediment movement has generally been ignored. Homogeneous earth-fill dams are dams that use a single type of material in their construction. Sediment and flood wave propagation of a homogeneous earth-fill dam as a result of overtopping and piping dam break types ...Daha fazlası
