RISSystemic Estimation of Dam Overtopping Probability: Bayesian Networks Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dam overtopping is one of the major causes of dam breach accidents. Many studies have focused on the estimation of dam overtopping probability. However, the occurrence of a dam overtopping incident is subject to many factors ...
Underwater Explosion Resistance Performance of an Old Gravity Dam without Good Longitudinal-Joint Connection Integrity: Coupled Acoustic-Structural Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A gravity dam monolith bounded by the transverse contraction joints on both sides is usually recognized as an independent element in various dynamic analyses. However, in most cases a gravity dam monolith is actually ...
Viscous Damping and Contraction Joint Friction in Underwater Explosion Resistant Design of Arch Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The aim of this study is to clarify the parameter-determination issue with regard to the viscous damping and contraction joint friction in the underwater explosion (UNDEX) resistant design of arch dams. A 141-m-high ...
Multiscale Approach and Meso–Macro-Mechanical Analysis of Granular Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A multiscale simulation method for modeling granular materials was proposed in this paper. The key links in this method were analyzed, and the computing framework was constructed. In this multiscale approach, the finite-element ...
