Assessment of crack resistance of ultra-high earth core rockfill dam by pore pressure
An important problem at construction of high earth core rockfill dams (ECRD) is danger of hydraulic fracturing of their seepage control element. It is usually considered that the cause of hydraulic fracturing is presence of micro cracks in the core, which open due to deficit of compressive stresses...
