Causes of Failure of Earthfill Dams.Craft&Knowladge


hey guys welcome to Craft & Knowledge. 


Earth filled dams are less rigid and more susceptible to failure like most of engineering structures earth dams may fail due to various reasons such as faulty design improper construction and poor maintenance practices etc different causes of failure of earth fill dams are explained in this video stay tuned. causes a failure of earth fill dams different causes of failure of earth fill dams are as follows


1.

    Hydraulic failures of


Earth fill dams for out every 10 earth and dams have failed due to hydraulic failures the hydraulic failure of an earthen dam rise due to any of the following causes erosion of upstream face erosion of downstream tow due to over topping due to frost action due to formation of gullies


 2.

      Seepage failure of earth fill


Dams seepage through earth and dam is casual but it is considered as harmless when it is limited or controllable if it is uncontrollable or concentrated seepage then there occurs problems such as piping and sloughing one out of every three failed dam cases have seepage failures seepage failure arises due to piping through foundation piping through damn body slumping of downstream toe


3.

   Structural failure of earth fill


Dams another cause for failure of earthen dams is structural failures about one-quarter of earthen dams have failed due to structural failures structural failure arises due to sliding a foundation sliding of embankment that's all for today see you in the next Article.
