Seismic behaviors of earth-core, concrete-faced-rock-fill, and composite dams

The investigation on the seismic behavior of dams becomes crucial but is limited due to lack of experimental or field data. This paper aims to experimentally simulate the seismic behavior of three types of dams; earth-core rock-fill dam (ECRD), concrete-faced rock-fill dam (CFRD), and composite dam which combines concrete dam and CFRD. A series...
