A study of T~e c o ~ e d ~ C 1 ~ a v i C ~ of realistic arch dam reservoir s~stems, i~cl1~ding both reservolr-dam and dam-foumdation interaction. The dam is assumed to be of circular cyli~Irical shape and located in a V-shaped valley. Novel mapping finite elements are used to req~esent the solid amd the fluid aspects of the system. Results show that, de!~erding on the overall stiffness of the dam, its coupled natural frequencies, mode shapes and response are influenced by h y d r o ~ m ~ c and foundation interaction. Also~ the effect of water ccm~essibility is fcurd to be sm~]~ ard may be neglected in most arch dam reservoir systems. 834205 CENTRIF[~AL MODELING OF TRANSIE~'9 WATER FLOW Cargill, K W; Ko, H Y J Geotech Er4~Ig Div ASCE, VI09, NG~, A!~r:LI

831~209 ESTIMATING FAILURE PROBABILITIES FOR CALIFORNIA LEVEES Duncan, J M; Houston, W N J Geotech Engng Div ASCE, VI09, NGT2, Feb 1983, P260- 268 The probability of failure of California Delta levees was estimated using simple statistical l~ocedures, based heavily on empirical data. Forty-four islanls were included in the study, and it was found that the Irobability of failure was stror4DlY liraked to the thickness of peat beneath the levees. 83~210 KARSTIC LIMESTONE PROBLEM AT KAVSAK DAM SITE AND RES~WVOIE AREA Unay, G; Ertunc, A; Bulntlar, E Bull Int Assoc Engng Geol, N25, June 1982 , Pl~3-150 (Paper to Symposium on Engineering Geological Problems of Construction on Soluble Rocks, Istanbul, 14-18 Sept 1981) Geotechnical investigations were carried out at 2 sites to assess the foundation conditions for the Iroposed Kavsak Dam, Turkey. Exploratory boreholes ard field studies revealed that karstification had developed along Joints and faults, anl extended to 200m below river level. Grout curtains would have been necessary to Irevent leakage throu@h the limestone and such treatment was considered uneconomic. Both sites were rejected and alternative sites were selected for investigation.

1983, ~50-1~ Presents analytical procedures to evaluate the characteristics of tailings flow in tailings dam failures. The behaviour of the railings material is re~esented by a Bimgham plastic rheologic model. From the anelyses~ flow of phosl~hate tailings is expected to be turbulent, and for other materials it is expected to be laminar. See also item 834207.

The Keban Dam, Yugoslavia, was built on a llmestone ridge deeply karstified mainly by h~rlrothermal activity. Extensive, highly interconnected, percolation paths resulted in and below the dam foundation which convey impounded water below the 2~Om deep grouted cut-off t o sources downstream. The cut-off, the cavern discovered after filling the lake and its treatment, the leakages before ard after remedial measures were achieved, are ;resented.

Good agreement was founl between the experimental and analytical results, and so the amalytical results were compared with flow movements observed in several case sttrldes. 834208 FAIl/IRE OF AN EARTH DAM: A CASE STUDY Khan, I H J Geotech Engng Div ASCE, VI09, NST2, Feb

1983, I:'2i-I~.-259 An investigation was carried out to determine the causes of failure of one of two dams constructed in the Wadl ~attsrah area of Libya. As a result the following mechanism fer the failure was postulated: in semi-arid zones large variations in temperature aml soil moisture content induce severe cracking of the dam cc~ce. Winter rains often result in flash floods leading to a rapid build-up of reservoir level with consequent high velocities of water flowing in the core. Moderately dispersive soils, in such an environment, may become highly dispersive, leading to piping failure.
