Numerical Investigation into the effects of cavities on stability of slopes and seepage through earth dams under rapid drawdown condition (2020)
Thesis
Alateya, H. Numerical Investigation into the effects of cavities on stability of slopes and seepage through earth dams under rapid drawdown condition. (Thesis). University of Salford

The stability of dams and natural slopes is a significant and interesting issue and one of the key challenges in the civil engineering field. Cavities forming under earth structures are problematic in the field of geotechnical engineering and may lea...
