  1. 16. Resistivity investigation and monitoring for detection of internal erosion and anomalous seepage in embankment dams

    Författare :Pontus Sjödahl; Teknisk geologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; internal erosion; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; time-lapse inversion; inversion; monitoring; modelling; resistivity; detection; leakage; seepage; teknisk geografi; embankment dam;

    Sammanfattning : Methods for monitoring seepage and detecting internal erosion are essential for the safety evaluation of embankment dams. Internal erosion is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failures, and there are several tenths of thousands of large embankment dams in the world. LÄS MER

  3. 17. CFD and data-driven modeling for safe spillway discharge

    Författare :Shicheng Li; Anders Ansell; James Yang; Robert Boes; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Discharge safety; hydraulic design; spillway; discharge capacity; aerator; two-phase flow; air entrainment; energy dissipation; CFD; data-driven modeling; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

    Sammanfattning : A spillway is a crucial dam structure that regulates water levels and prevents the dam from overtopping. The majority of the dams in the world were constructed before the 1980s. Compared to the current design flood standards, many spillways are undersized, e.g. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Identification of soil parameters in an embankment dam by mathematical optimization

    Författare :Pooya Vahdati; Hans-Åke Häggblad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The finite element method (FEM) has been widely used to analyse earth and rockfill dams. In a finite element analysis a proper constitutive model has to be chosen for each part of the dam in order to simulate the relation between stresses and strains. The zones of an earth and rockfill dam have different functions. LÄS MER

  5. 19. A concrete dam assessment approach using probabilistic non-linear finite element analysis and scale model testing

    Författare :Adrian Ulfberg; Gabriel Sas; Oisik Das; Jaime Gonzalez; Richard Malm; Fredrik Johansson; Marie Westberg Wilde; Leif Lia; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite element analysis; Scale model testing; Probabilistic analysis; Byggkonstruktion; Structural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Dams are vital infrastructure for society as they provide various services (e.g., flood prevention, storage of byproducts from mining operations, water storage for irrigation and hydropower generation) by the impoundment of liquids. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Stability of tailings dams : focus on numerical modelling

    Författare :Muhammad Auchar Zardari; Anders Sellgren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Upstream tailings dams may experience slope stability problems when the rate of raising is too fast. Tailings consolidate slowly due to low hydraulic conductivity. The excess pore pressures can build up due to accelerated rate of raising. LÄS MER
