The improvement in design technologies has enhanced the use of different fill materials in construction of the embankment dams. Rockfill is one of the most preferred fill material for embankment dam. Also, use of different fill material such as sand-gravel has been preferred in recent years. Previous studies on concrete faced sand-gravel fill dam (CFSGD), results of the laboratory experiments and in-situ testing analysis display that using sand-gravel as a fill material is not only cost-effective but also safe and provides high quality natural construction material. In this study, settlement of Karacasu Dam, which is the first concrete faced sand-gravel fill dam in Turkey, is examined for “end of construction” and “reservoir impoundment” loading conditions. Deformations are determined by computing two dimensional finite element analyses. Hardening soil model is utilized to obtain non-linear, stress dependent and inelastic behavior of the sand-gravel fill material. Deformations which are calculated by finite element analyses, are compared with the data observed by General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) for both end of the construction and reservoir impoundment periods. The comparison of the results indicates that calculated deformations are generally compatible with the observed ones.

Deformation behavior of a clay cored rockfill dam in Turkey
Oral, Yaşar Zahit; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
In this study, Bahçelik Dam, which is located in Kayseri Province, is investigated by means of horizontal movement due to reservoir loading and seepage inside the core and body. Two dimensional plain strain finite element analyses are carried out in order to find total stresses, displacements and pore water pressures. Mohr-coulomb soil model is used to represent elastic behavior of rock-fill material. Since there is no information about material used in dam body, material parameters are determined by sensit...
Hydraulic characteristics of tyrolean weirs
Yılmaz, Nazlı Aslıcan; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Tyrolean type water-intake structures are widely used on mountain rivers to provide water to hydropower stations. The main concern encountered in these kinds of structures is the amount of water diverted from the main channel and sediment carried by this flow. The diverted flow should not be less than the design discharge of the hydropower station and the amount of the sediment entering the hydraulic system should be minimum. In this study a physical model of a Tyrolean weir was constructed at the Hydromech...
Finite element analysis of deformation behavior of concrete faced Konya Afşar Hadimi dam and comparison of results with measurements
Kardeş, Doğuşcan; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
To eliminate the problem of scarcity of appropriate fill material in the vicinity of construction site, concrete faced dam is a commonly preferred alternative for embankment dams. Functioning as an impervious membrane, the concrete face makes it possible to use dumped rockfill, compacted rockfill or sand-gravel fill as the dam body material. In this study, deformation behavior of Konya Afşar Hadimi Dam, which is a concrete faced rockfill dam, was investigated by finite element analyses using Plaxis and Mida...
