  1. 1. Condition assessment of concrete dams in cold climate

    Författare :Rikard Hellgren; Anders Ansell; Richard Malm; Anders Wiberg; Fernando Salazar González; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dam safety; dams; data analysis; monitoring; statistical models; hydraulic structures; static ice loads; concrete dams; cold regions; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

    Sammanfattning : Dams in many countries are approaching their expected service life. Proper assessment of the aging dams structural health increase the knowledge of the current safety, and allow for better planning of renovation and rebuilding investments. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Toward Realistic Failure Evaluations for Concrete Buttress Dams

    Författare :Jonas Enzell; Anders Ansell; Erik Nordström; Andreas Sjölander; Richard Malm; Leif Lia; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; concrete dams; buttress dams; stability analysis; dam failure behavior; physical model tests; FEM; betongdammar; lamelldammar; stabilitetsanalys; dammbrott; fysiska modellförsök; FEM; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

    Sammanfattning : Concrete dams, complex structures supporting massive loads, have traditionally been assessed using simplified 2D analytical stability analyses based on the rigid body assumption. Previous studies have shown that 3D behavior, such as the interaction between the monoliths and the valley's geology, can greatly impact the load-bearing capacity of gravity dams but remains largely unexplored in buttress dams.

  4. 3. Automated performance monitoring of concrete dams

    Författare :Christian Bernstone; Teknisk geologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; geographical and geological engineering; Maintenance; Uplift pressure; Crack; Deformation; Image processing; Dams; Condition monitoring; Time-domain reflectometry; GPS; Image analysis; Concrete structures; teknisk geografi; Hydrogeology;

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish hydropower industry operates a large number of power plants and dams geographically spread over the country. The level of safety of a specific dam is to a large extent determined during the design and construction phases that in the case of Swedish hydropower plants took place several decades ago. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A systems approach to ice loads on concrete dams

    Författare :Rikard Hellgren; Richard Malm; Anders Ansell; Erik Nordström; Pierre Legér; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ice loads; Ice pressure; Dam safety; Concrete dams; Cold regions; Monitoring; Measurements; Concrete Structures; Betongbyggnad;

    Sammanfattning : Dams are mainly used for the storage of water to electricity production and irrigation, or for river regulation. Continuous work to assure a high dam safety level is a prerequisite to minimize the risk for the uncontrolled release of water. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Moisture Conditions and Frost Resistance of Concrete in Hydraulic Structures

    Författare :Martin Rosenqvist; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydraulic Structures; Hydro Power; Concrete Dams; Concrete; Frost Resistance; Scaling; Spalling; Moisture Absorption; Macroscopic Ice Lens Growth;

    Sammanfattning : Owing to the winter conditions in Sweden, the effects of frost action may have a considerable impact on the deterioration of concrete. Both superficial and internal damage, which are suspected to have been caused by frost action, have been found in concrete in hydraulic structures. LÄS MER
