The variability of textural and compaction properties of coarse grained materials of fluvial origin employed in the construction of 8 earth dams in Italy are discussed on the basis of the results of placement control tests. The shear strength of these materials is investigated by means of a broad laboratory investigation; a correlation between friction angle and the porosity is established. The influence of the variability of materials properties on the stability of an earth dam is analyzed by means of a probabilistic approach.

Abstract
The variability of textural and compaction properties of coarse grained materials of fluvial origin employed in the construction of 8 earth dams in Italy are discussed on the basis of the results of placement control tests. The shear strength of these materials is investigated by means of a broad laboratory investigation; a correlation between friction angle and the porosity is established. The influence of the variability of materials properties on the stability of an earth dam is analyzed by means of a probabilistic approach.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
