Abstract: A three-dimensional finite element analysis is carried out to determine the thermal stresses of a concrete arch dam. Appropriate heat transfer boundary conditions in the dam body are used for air and reservoir temperature ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a precise and general multiple linear regression (MLR) model to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of various soil types. The study used a wide range of data sets, including 952 data ...

Abstract: Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a dry concrete with zero slump and is constructed in layers. RCC dams are generally weak in interlayers. The bond strength and the permeability of the interlayer affect the performance ...

Abstract: The response of a structure–foundation system subjected to loading is a function of the interaction between them. If the response is to be analyzed accurately, the effect of roughness at the interface needs to be considered. ...
