The forensic team determined that the actual  cause of the failure was static liquefaction, a relatively unusual mechanism for an earthen dam.

法医小组确定失败的实际原因是静态液化，这对于土坝来说是一种相对不寻常的机制。

That night, the lake reached the highest level in its history, only about 4 feet or  1.3 meters below the top of the earthen dam.

那天晚上， 湖水达到了历史上的最高水位，仅比土坝顶部低约 4 英尺（1.3 米）。

At one end of the pond was an earthen dam, planted with green willow bushes, and above it a door and a single window were set into the hillside.

池塘的一头是土坝， 上面种着翠绿的柳树， 坝上开着一扇门和一扇窗， 通向山坡。

The independent  forensic team charged with investigating the event released an interim report on the failures  in September 2021. The conclusions of the report include a discussion of a relatively  rare phenomenon in earthen dams.

负责调查该事件的独立法医小组于 2021 年 9 月发布了一份有关故障的临时报告。该报告的结论包括对土坝中相对罕见的现象的讨论。
