Abstract
This paper presents an experimental and analytical approach for the estimation method of the shear resistance of the filled materials in the cellular check dam. Both the size effect of the filled material and the compaction effect on the shear resistance of the filled materials are investigated and the significant effect of the compaction is pointed out. Second, the transmitted mechanism of the shear resistance due to the compaction is clarified by using the distinct element method. Finally, the empirical prediction method of the shear resistance-shear deformation curve considering the compaction effect is proposed. Then, a design example of actual check dam by using proposed estimation method is illustrated.
