  • Numerical Study on the Hydrologic Characteristic of Permeable Friction Course Pavement
    water Article Numerical Study on the Hydrologic Characteristic of Permeable Friction Course Pavement Tan Hung Nguyen 1 and Jaehun Ahn 2,* 1 Faculty of Architectural, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nam Can Tho University, Can Tho 900000, Vietnam; [email protected] 2 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-51-510-7627 Abstract: The hydrologic characteristic of a permeable friction course (PFC) pavement is dependent on the rainfall intensity, pavement geometric design, and porous asphalt properties. Herein, the hydrologic characteristic of PFC pavements of various lengths and slopes was determined via numerical analysis. A series of analyses was conducted using length values of 10, 15, 20, and 30 m and slope values of 0.5%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% for the equivalent water flow path. The PFC pavements were simulated for various values of rainfall intensity, which ranged from 10 to 120 mm/h, to determine the time taken for water to flow over the PFC pavement surface. The results show that the time for water overflow decreased when the pavement length or rainfall intensity increased, and it increased when the slope increased. Finally, a series of design charts was developed to determine the time taken for water to flow over the PFC pavement surface for given rainfall intensities. Since this study was conducted based on numerical analysis, further studies are recommended to verify experimentally the results presented. Citation: Nguyen, T.H.; Ahn, J.

  • Sensitivity Study of Different Parameters Affecting Design of the Clay Blanket in Small Earthen Dams
    Journal of Himalayan Earth Sciences Volume 48, No. 2, 2015 pp.139-147 Sensitivity study of different parameters affecting design of the clay blanket in small earthen dams Ishtiaq Alam and Irshad Ahmad Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering & Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan. Abstract Dams are structures that retain water for human services. Dams may be earthen, concrete, timber, steel or masonry made. On the basis of size, they may be small, medium and large. The main purpose of a dam is to divert the flow of water for the intended use. Flow of water cannot be stopped permanently even by the best dam ever made. Water may seep from dam body, abutments or the foundation bed below the body of the dam. To control seepage from the foundation bed, certain available methods like cutoff trench, cutoff walls, diaphragms, grout curtains, sheet pile walls and upstream impervious blankets are used. Upstream impervious blankets are considered more economical compared with the other methods mentioned above. The key parameters playing role in blanket efficiency are length of blanket, thickness of blanket, clay core width of the dam, foundation bed depth up to impervious zone, reservoir head, permeability of blanket material and permeability of bed material. This study is focused on the effect of these parameters in seepage control. Seep/W, a finite element method based software is used to model all the mentioned parameters within the individually selected ranges. The results based on the software analysis show that when the length of blanket is gradually increased, the seepage quantity reduces gradually until a specific length where the effect of further increase in length become meaningless.

Project Title: Determination of Field Suction Values in High PI Clays for Various Surface Conditions and Drain Installations 16. Abstract Moisture infiltration into highway embankments constructed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) using high Plasticity Index (PI) clays results in changes in shear strength and in flow pattern that leads to recurrent slope failures. In addition, soil cracking over time increases the rate of moisture infiltration. The overall objective of this research is to determine the suction, hydraulic properties, and shear strength of high PI Texas clays. Specifically, two comprehensive experimental programs involving the characterization of unsaturated properties and the shear strength of a high PI clay (Eagle Ford clay) were conducted.

  • V5.5 Peer Review Final Report [PDF, 1.1
    The South Florida Water Management Model, Version 5.5 Review of the SFWMM Adequacy as a Tool for Addressing Water Resources Issues Final Panel Report October 28, 2005 Panel: Rafael L. Bras, Chair Anthony Donigian Wendy Graham Vijay Singh Jery Stedinger Executive Summary Panel Task On August 1 2005 the South Florida Water Management District convened a panel of experts to perform a review of the South Florida Water Management Model (SFWMM), version 5.5, as described on the Documentation of the South Florida Water management Model, Version 5.5, Final Draft, August 2005. The essence of the Panel’s task was “To conduct an independent and objective review of the adequacy of the SFWMM [South Florida Water Management Model] as a regional modeling tool for addressing water resources issues in South Florida. The review shall rely on the latest documentation of the model as the primary source of information about the model.” The panel interpreted the mandate broadly, seeking to judge the adequacy of the model for its stated objectives and judging whether the written documentation articulates sufficiently well the capabilities of the model. It should be noted that the Panel could not, nor attempted to judge the accuracy of the coding of the model nor did it perform quality control exercises to vouch that it is error free. The Panel judged intended functionality and performance based only on the material provided and hence the accuracy of the model over its whole range of operations cannot be ascertained, except by written and oral assurances of the SFWMD staff and other users.

    Final Presented @ USSD Annual Conf, Charleston, SC April 14-16, 2003 CONSTRUCTION DEWATERING AT SALUDA DAM; DESIGN, TESTING, AND IMPLEMENTATION John P. Osterle1 Paul C. Rizzo, P.E.2 William Argentieri, P.E.3 Jeffrey D. Holchin, P.E.4 ABSTRACT The proposed Remediation of Saluda Dam, located approximately ten miles to the west of Columbia South Carolina and owned and operated by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), consists of a 5,500-foot-long Rock Fill Berm and a 2,200-foot-long Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Berm. This combination RCC and Rockfill Berm will be constructed along the downstream toe of the existing 200-foot-high earth embankment dam. Should the existing Dam fail during a seismic event, the combination Rockfill and RCC Berm will serve as a backup dam to prevent an uncontrolled release of Lake Murray. Extensive foundation excavations into the residual soil or to bedrock at the toe of the existing Dam are required to facilitate the construction of the RCC and Rockfill Berm. To maintain an adequate factor of safety against slope instability for the existing Dam during construction, the existing phreatic surface within the Dam needs to be lowered substantially by dewatering. Based on the hydrogeologic conditions at the site, Paul C. Rizzo Associates (RIZZO) determined that the dewatering system should consist primarily of deep wells and eductors. Numerous components of this system that have been installed are currently operating to lower the phreatic surface within the Dam and downstream foundation excavation. Engineering analyses consisting of analytical models and finite element analyses were utilized to estimate the approximate spacing and flow rate required for the deep wells and eductors.

  • Numerical Analysis of Leakage Through Geomembrane Lining Systems for Dams
    The First Pan American Geosynthetics Conference & Exhibition 2-5 March 2008, Cancun, Mexico Numerical Analysis of Leakage through Geomembrane Lining Systems for Dams C.T. Weber, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA J.G. Zornberg, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA ABSTRACT A numerical simulation was performed to characterize the effects of leakage through defects on the performance of dams with an upstream face lined with a geomembrane. The objective of this study was to determine how leakage through a lining system would affect the design of blanket toe drains in an earth dam. Toe drains decrease the pore pressure at the downstream face and keep the seepage line (or phreatic surface) below the downstream boundary. Simulations were conducted to determine the location of the phreatic surface in a homogeneous dam due to the presence of defects in the liner. Numerical simulations were also conducted to determine the length of the toe drain needed to prevent discharge from occurring on the downstream face of the dam. In addition, the effect of the elevation of the phreatic surface within the dam on the stability of the downstream face of the dam was analyzed. This study provides evidence on the benefits of using a geomembrane liner regarding the stability and toe drain in earth dams. 1. INTRODUCTION Geomembranes have been used as a solution to dam seepage problems since 1959, beginning in Europe (Sembenelli and Rodriguez 1996) and Canada (Lacroix 1984). These thin sheets of polymer have been used to make the upstream face watertight in roller-compacted concrete dams, to retrofit masonry and concrete dams, and as the main impervious layer in fill dams.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Historical observed data and future climate projections provide enough evidence that water resources systems (i.e., surface water and groundwater) are extremely vulnerable to climate change. However, the impact of climate change on water resources systems varies from region to region. Therefore, climate change impact studies of water resources systems are of interest at regional to local scales. These studies provide a better understanding of the sensitivity of water resources systems to changes in climatic variables (i.e., precipitation and temperature), and help to manage future water resources.

  • Groundwater Models: How the Science Can Empower the Management?
    Groundwater Models: How the Science Can Empower the Management? N.C. Ghosh and Kapil D. Sharma National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, India Abstract Protection, restoration and development of groundwater supplies and remediation of contaminated aquifers are the driving issues in groundwater resource management. These issues are further triggered on and driven by the population expansion and increasing demands. To transform the ‘vicious circles’ of groundwater availabilities into ‘virtuous circles’ of demands, understanding of the aquifer behavior in response to imposed stresses and/or strains is essentially required. If groundwater management strategies are directed towards balancing the exploitations in demand side with the fortune of supply side, the goals of groundwater management can be achieved when the tools used for solution of the management problems are derived considering mechanisms of supply-distribution-availability of the resource in the system. Groundwater modeling is one of the management tools being used in the hydro-geological sciences for the assessment of the resource potential and prediction of future impact under different stresses/constraints. Construction of a groundwater model follows a set of assumptions describing the system’s composition, the transport processes that take place in it, the mechanisms that govern them, and the relevant medium properties. There are numerous computer codes of groundwater models available worldwide dealing variety of problems related to; flow and contaminants transport modeling, rates and location of pumping, artificial recharge, changes in water quality etc. Each model has its own merits and limitations and hence no model is unique to a given groundwater system. Management of a system means making decisions aiming at accomplishing the system’s goal without violating specified technical and non-technical constrains imposed on it.
