In this thesis we show a procedure to analyze the slope stability of earth dams, for three load conditions (end of construction, operation and rapid drawdown), with and without earthquake loading. To analyze the slope ...

The following investigation work focuses on using digital modelling tools to quantify the safety on an earth dam. The present study analyzes the behavior of the stress to which the PACALORI project dams will be subject to. ...

The PACALORI project consists of thirteen dams, whose reservoirs will affect the road network in the area. In order to determine the roads affected by the height of the maximum water level of the reservoir (NAM for its ...

Clay is commonly used in construction of hydraulic structures such as dams because these structures lower permeability and are able to be in contact with water. However, a dispersive type of clay is very susceptible to ...

This research aims to establish a methodology best suited to estimate the Crest Level in earth dams, with application to earth dams project PLAN DE APROVECHAMIENTO Y CONTROL DE AGUA DE LA PROVINCIA DE LOS RÍOS (PACALORI). ...

This research focuses on defining the necessary instrumentation for Lechugal 2 earth dambelonging to PACALORI project (Plan de Aprovechamiento y Control de Aguas de la Provincia de Los Ríos) and to serve as a methodology ...

This research indicates the design methodology with respect to the types of surface protection for upstream slopes mostly used as homogeneous earthfill dam, protection with dumped rock riprap and protection with articulated ...

This thesis was conducted within the megaproject PACALORI, located in the Guayas river basin. This basin corresponds to the South Western and Central South regions of Province of Los Rios, Ecuador. The main aim of the ...

The PACALORI project has as its main purpose to control the flood and water supply for irrigation, for which dams will be built whose reservoirs would store water for irrigation, one of which is the reservoir Macul 1 with ...
