Abstract In this study, three centrifuge tests were performed to evaluate the feasibility of three physical quantities for detecting internal defect of earth core fill dam: pore water pressure, temperature, and electrical resistance. For this purpose, the measurement system for pore water pressure, temperature and electrical resistance on centrifuge model dams was established. Three centrifuge tests included a fill dam without internal defect and two other dams with artificial internal defect in the core. The effectiveness of seepage monitoring was examined during the centrifuge test. Test results showed the applicability of monitoring techniques to detect internal defect by monitoring pore water pressure, temperature, and electrical resistance.
