Abstract:
Many earth and rockfill dams have been observed to have undergone large settlements and horizontal movements. The dam has experienced wide variety of movements, both in the upstream and the downstream direction. Correct assessment of movements in dam are called for better understanding the behaviour of the dam and to safe guard against cracks, hydraulic fracturing, etc. related failure at design state itself.
105 m height Djatiluhur dam as an inclined core rockfill dam in Indonesia is identified performing with significant deformation, started during construction period till the present reservoir operation period. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate its behaviour....
