Core Rockfill Dam

The planning, design, and performance of the Yele asphalt-core rockfill dam in Sichuan Province, China, are presented. The dam has a maximum height of 124.5 m, is located in a very seismic region with inclement climate, and is founded on a geologically complex foundation, partly resting on a deep and pervious alluvial overburden and partly on bedrock. With these site conditions only an embankment-type dam was considered feasible, and three different options were considered for the design of the impervious barrier: (i) earth core, (ii) concrete facing, and (iii) asphalt core. The third option was chosen. The design is based on extensive analyses and laboratory tests, and a special model test was performed to study the behavior of the connection between the narrow asphalt core and concrete plinth. An impoundment test was performed when the dam was 73 m high to test the imperviousness of the constructed core and the connections between (i) the core and plinth and (ii) the plinth and foundation cut-off wall. An extensive field monitoring program was implemented. Design predictions are compared with field performance observations of the core and its interaction with the adjacent transition zones.

The Rumei core wall rockfill dam hydropower station is in Lancang River in the Mangkang county of the Tibet autonomous region with maximum height of 315m and crest length of 666.2m. Due to the high core wall rockfill dam has been more than 300m high, water level sudden drawdown of the unsteady seepage condition shall be taken into consideration, according to the given water level drop speed (5m/d) calculate condition, analysis of the seepage field distribution of the different water level, free surface of different time, each material partition of the dam and foundation soil seepage gradient, etc are given. The results showed that the free surface of the upstream dam shell rockfill body dropping fast than the water level dropping speed of the reservoir. The seepage gradient of the upstream shell is very small, which will not cause adverse effect on the upstream dam slope stability. The free surface of the downstream dam shell rockfill body changes little, which will not cause adverse effect on the downstream of the dam slope stability. As the water level falls, the free surface of the core wall dropping speed is slow, far less than the water dropping speed of the reservoir. In the process of emptying reservoir, the free surface of the core wall remains in a high position, which should cause enough attention.

Core Rockfill Dam

Rockfill dams have better stability than homogeneous soil dams. It allows to design the dam more slim with a higher slope. The disadvantage of rockfill dam is in the core zone as an impermeable zone. Zoned vertical core rockfill dam is a combination of various material properties. Geometry and drainage design will affect the seepage and phreatic line properties that occur. Numerical modeling and calculations are used to calculate the seepage profile more accurately. The combination of the parameters of the permeability coefficient (K), reservoir water level (Δh) and the length of the seepage path (L) can be used to determine the relationship between parameters with the same unit. 2D modeling take into account saturated/unsaturated conditions with steady state on each parameter. This study uses the Jatibarang-Indonesia dam as a basic model. The seepage profile at condition K1 (k = 1x10-5cm/sec) is q/k = -0.0018 (h2/L)2 + 1.3496h2/L + 53.241 and the seepage profile K2 (k=1x10-7cm/s) is q/k = -0.1521 (h2/L)2 + 90.402h2/L + 5480.2. This equations can be used to estimate seepage that occurs in a dam of other rock fill zoned vertical core dam based on the permeability coefficient value (K) more practically for all values of Δh and L reviewed.Keywords: Seepage, Rockfill Dam, Permeability, FEM, Numerical Analysis

The combine harvest for soybean crops market are currently available two types of combine with header or platform, one of conventional with revolving reel with metal or plastic teeth to cause the cut crop to fall into the auger header and the other called "draper" headers that use a fabric or rubber apron instead of a cross auger, there are few test about performance of this combine header for soybean in Mato Grosso State. The aim of this work was to evaluate the soybean harvesting quantitative losses and performance using two types combine header in four travel speed. The experiment was conducted during soybean crops season 2014/15, the farm Tamboril in the municipality of Pontes e Lacerda, State of Mato Grosso. The was used the experimental design of randomized blocks, evaluating four forward harvesting speeds (4 km h-1, 5 km h-1, 6 km h-1 and 7 km h-1), the natural crops losses were analyzed, loss caused by the combine harvester (combine header, internal mechanisms and total losses) and was also estimated the  field performance of each combine. Data were submitted to analysis of variance by F test and compared of the average by Tukey test at 5% probability. The results show the draper header presents a smaller amount of total loss and in most crop yield when compared with the conventional cross auger.

This paper is focused on the field performance of a modular press-brake-formed tub girder (PBFTG) system in short span bridge applications. The scope of this project to conduct a live load field test on West Virginia State Project no. S322-37-3.29 00, a bridge utilizing PBFTGs located near Ranger, West Virginia. The modular PBFTG is a shallow trapezoidal box girder cold-formed using press-brakes from standard mill plate widths and thicknesses. A technical working group within the Steel Market Development Institute’s Short Span Steel Bridge Alliance, led by the current authors, was charged with the development of this concept. Research of PBFTGs has included analyzing the flexural bending capacity using experimental testing and analytical methods. This paper presents the experimental testing procedures and performance of a composite PBFTG bridge.

This paper reviews the process used to design the construction dewatering system at the Influent Pumping Station at Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. The design process followed the "observational method," as applied to soil mechanics by K. Terzaghi and set out by R.B. Peck in the Ninth Rankine Lecture. The design was based on a working hypothesis of behaviour anticipated under the most probable conditions identified in the data gathering and assessment program. The sensitivity of the design was evaluated by considering potentially unfavourable conditions evident in the available data. The design development included a review of monitoring feedback obtained during the pumping-well installation, a pumping test, and the dewatering system start-up. The monitoring program and review process are presented.Key words: dewatering, observational method, case study, pumping test.
