• Description of failure mechanism in placed riprap on steep slope with unsupported toe using smartstone probes 

      Hiriyanna Rao Ravindra, Ganesh; Gronz, Oliver; Dost, Bastian; Sigtryggsdottir, Fjola Gudrun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This article is aimed at investigating the influence of toe support conditions on stability aspects of placed ripraps on steep slopes exposed to overtopping flows. All past experimental model studies investigating placed ...
    • Effects of toe configuration on throughflow properties of rockfill dams 

      Kiplesund, Geir Helge; Hiriyanna Rao Ravindra, Ganesh; Rokstad, Marius Møller; Sigtryggsdottir, Fjola Gudrun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Rockfill dams must be equipped with defence mechanisms to counteract the destabilizing effects of throughflow forces under accidental leakage scenarios. A key component of the rockfill dam overtopping system is the rockfill ...
    • Impacts of Climate Change on Flow Regimes in Central Norway 

      Hiriyanna Rao Ravindra, Ganesh (Master thesis, 2017)
      The phenomenon of climate change has had widespread impacts on the climatic and ecological setup of the globe ranging from rapid melting of polar ice caps to startling changes in weather patterns around the planet. From a ...
    • Numerical Modeling of the Effects of Toe Configuration on Throughflow in Rockfill Dams 

      Smith, Nils Solheim; Hiriyanna Rao Ravindra, Ganesh; Sigtryggsdottir, Fjola Gudrun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The rockfill toe structure situated within the downstream slope of rockfill dams is an integral part of a defense mechanism safeguarding the dam structure in throughflow situations. Recent studies have concluded that the ...
