PREDICTING UNDERSEEPAGE OF MASONRY DAMS (2009)
This paper reviews the creep ratio concept suggested by Lane (1934) and added new case histories to expand his database. Lane (1934) selected conservative values of safe creep ratios because of the small number of dam failures in his database, which is prudent. ...

ASSESSING THE VULNERABILITY OF A TYPICAL BRITISH EMBANKMENT DAM TO INTERNAL EROSION (2008)
<p>The vulnerability to internal erosion of a 100-year old typical British embankment dam without filters has been examined using seven methods. Four assessed the potential of the shoulder fill, a low permeability till, to act as a filter and prevent erosion ...

POSSIBLE INDICATORS OF INTERNAL EROSION PRONE DAMS COMPRISING BROADLY GRADED MATERIALS (2008)
<p>Embankment dams comprising broadly graded materials of glacial origin in the impervious core (base soil) and protective filter have in the past been identified as being prone to develop sinkholes more frequent than dams composed of materials of other origin. ...

PROGRESS IN ASSESSING INTERNAL EROSION (2008)
<p>The European Working Group on Internal Erosion presented its Interim Report at the 7th European Conference on dams in Freising in Germany in September 2007, this being the culmination of interactions which had ommenced in 2004. This paper summarizes the ...
