Heightening of an Existing Embankment Dam: Results from Numerical Simulations

The old dam of the Zhushou Reservoir is a clay core rock-debris dam with a maximum height of 63.4 m. After heightening, the new dam is a concrete-faced rockfill dam with a maximum height of 98.1 m. In the initial design stage, a rigid connection is proposed between the cutoff wall and toe slab. Afte...
