Abstract: It is accepted practice to test field‐cast cylinders in the laboratory under control conditions, then assume that the determined strength is representative of the compressive strength of the concrete in the structure itself. ...

Abstract: A finite element procedure is developed for stress, seepage and stability analysis of dams and earthbanks. The seepage analysis is based on a residual flow scheme involving saturated and unsaturated zones in which the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the residual stress in the welding connection between hydrogen nozzle and spherical head in a hydrofining reactor. A sequential coupling finite element program ...

Abstract: Hydropower plays an important role in electric power systems. It not only interacts with many non-hydropower generation activities but also competes with other water users (industrial, commercial, residential, and agricultural) ...
