  1. SOIL MATERIAL INPUT PARAMETERSWINDAM(Windows Dam Analysis Modules) WINDAM TESTING WORKSHOP September 2, 2009

  2. Laboratory Algorithms • Steep Channel • Phase 1 Failure Flume Tests • Headcut Development • Embankment • Headcut Migration • Breach Widening • Widening • Discharge Model • Discharge • Erodibility Data Sets Computer Models • ARS Lab Data Computer Models Additional Data SIMBA SIMBA • Case Studies WINDAM a) allowable overtopping b) breach WINDAM a) allowable overtopping b) breach Model Comparisons • NWS Breach, • HR Breach, • FireFox, & others

  3. 1) HEADCUT FORMATION 2) HEADCUT ADVANCE (through crest) 4 STAGE Breach Erosion Model 3) HEADCUT ADVANCE (into reservoir) 4) BREACH WIDENING

  4. gT kd cu tc

  5. C kd tc

  6. gT

  7. HEADCUT MIGRATION Headcut Migration dX/dt dX/dt = Hkd(te – tc)/[2Ev] Ev= Vertical erosion required for failure. Requires gT

  8. TOTAL UNIT WEIGHT • Definition: Total Soil Weight (Water + Solid) Divided by Total Volume (WW + Ws) Soil Phases gT = (Vv + Vs) Gas VG WG VV VW Liquid WW gT = WT/VT VT WT Range: 100 – 130 lb/ft3 Solid VS WS

  9. kd tc

  10. Key Embankment Erosion Algorithms Impinging Jet Scour Surface Detachment dY/dt = kd(te – tc) dY/dt = kd(te – tc) Headcut Migration Widening dX/dt = Hkd(te–tc)/[2Ev] dW/dt = 1.4kd(te – tc)

  11. Standard Compaction Curve Optimum Water Content Maximum Dry Density Dry Density, lb/ft3 95% of Maximum Dry Density Line -2% +4% Water Content, WC% Reference Density Specification Acceptable Zone of Compaction

  12. Hammer Soil Mold Laboratory procedure for conducting erodibility test. Compact four to five samples at a range of water contents, say 10%, 12%, 14%, 16%, and 18% @ each compaction energy

  13. Standard Compaction Energy (~12,000 ft-lb/ft^3)

  14. Jet Tube Lid Point Gage Deflection Plate Sample Submergence Tank Laboratory JET Apparatus.

  15. Dry of optimum, rapid erosion Wet of optimum, slow erosion @ Optimum, slow erosion

  16. Standard Compaction Energy (~12,000 ft-lb/ft^3)

  17. Standard Compaction Energy (~12,000 ft-lb/ft^3) 25% Clay, CL(PI=15) 27% Clay, CL(PI=15) 34% Clay, CL(PI=17)

  18. Table for estimating kd (ft/hr)/(lb/ft3)

  19. Table for estimating tc (lb/ft2)

  20. A good conservative estimate for tc(lb/ft2) is tc= 0 lb/ft2 or if you know kd (ft/hr)/(lb/ft^2) tc= (50*kd)^(-2) (lb/ft2 )

  21. cu

  22. HEADCUT MIGRATION Headcut Migration dX/dt dX/dt = Hkd(te – tc)/[2Ev] Ev= Vertical erosion required for failure. Requires cu

  23. Unconfined compression test • su = “undrained shear strength” (c value) • qu = “unconfined compressive strength” t = c = su = ½*qu t c = su s s1 @ failure = q u s3 = 0

  24. C kd tc

  25. q dX/dt H HEADCUT MIGRATION Headcut Migration dX/dt dX/dt =C(qH)1/3 (Zero threshold energy based) q = unit discharge H = headcut height. • References • Temple et al. 2006 • Hanson et al. 2006

  26. C = (qH)1/3/(dX/dt)
