About this document
Geotechnical Insights on Dam Failures by Chandra Putra is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. The document discusses common mistakes that can lead to dam failures, including using drained strength parameters instead of undrained parameters, which led to the overtopping and failure of the Merriespruit Tailings Dam. 2. Inadequate protection of the core from internal erosion caused the failure of the Teton Dam. 3. The Kayakari tailings dam failed due to liquefaction of the tailings during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake due to longer shaking duration, even though it survived a prior earthquake.
