The construction of dams is a significant human activity in water management, offering numerous benefits. Many of the world’s tallest dams are constructed with soils and rocks. Internal erosion and seepage are frequent causes of failure for such dams. Therefore, it is necessary to study and analyze the thermal behavior of dams to prevent potential risks. In other words, the basis of this method relies on monitoring the temperature of seepage flow. The Darian Dam is one of the tallest embankment dams in Iran, located in Kermanshah, near the Darian village, and along the Sirvan River. It has a height of 179 meters above foundation. This study focuses on monitoring the thermal behavior employing the heat transducer of instrumentation installed within the dam body. Also, the study incorporates thermal simulation of the Darian dam using the Abaqus finite element software. This simulation provides a comprehensive understanding of the dam’s thermal behavior under a variety of conditions. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of the dam’s core was investigated at various sections and elevations by plotting the temperature graphs of the instruments. Subsequently, the results derived from finite element modeling were compared with the data recorded by the instruments.The findings of ...
