A case study of an earth dam under construction in the Siwalik sedimentary rocks in North India is presented. The dam site is located in a seismically active zone. The shear zones incorporated in the rocks during folding control the stability of the dam foundations Because the shear zones crop out i

To design waste containment barriers, low permeability soils or manufactured liner products are required. For hydraulic barriers in waste containment system, it is recommended to use soil layer of 5 m thickness when the coefficient of the permeability is higher than 10 -6 m/s or a layer of one meter
In this paper, based on physical meanings of hysteresis loops denoting a relationship between loads and strains near the fatigue crack tip, variations of the tensile plastic zone in loading and the compressive plastic zone in unloading as well as the effects on acceleration, retardation and non-prop
