Effect of Upstream Dam Geometry on Peak Discharge During Overtopping Breach in Noncohesive Homogeneous Embankment Dams; Implications for Tailings Dams

Tailings dams differ from conventional water‐retaining dams in design, materials retained behind the dam and used in construction of the dam, and the inclination of the upstream face of the dam. In this paper, we isolate the effect of upstream slope angle on behavior during overtopping breach. Six 1...
