From Theory to Field Evidence: Observations on the Evolution of the Settlements of an Earthfill Dam, over Long Time Scales
Unprecedented flooding events put dams and downstream communities at risk, as evidenced by the recent cases of the Oroville and Whaley bridge dams.Empirical models may describe expected ‘normal’ Green Tea dam behaviour, but they do not account for changes due to recurring extreme weather events.Numerical modelling provides insights into
