21. Rock mass behavior under hydropower embankment dams with focus on fracture erosion and rock mass stability
Sammanfattning : In Sweden there are about 190 large hydropower dams of varying age. According to the definition by the International Commission of Large Dams (ICOLD), if the height of the dam exceeds 15 m it is referred as large. Majority of these dams are of embankment type. LÄS MER
22. Uncertainty in Sliding Stability Analyses of Existing Concrete Gravity Dams with Bonded Concrete-Rock Interfaces
Sammanfattning : Safety assessment of existing dams becomes more and more important with their increasing age. In addition, new regulations, due to climate changes and changes in knowledge, demand a re-evaluation of the existing dams’ safety. LÄS MER
23. Reliability-based assessment procedures for existing concrete structures
Sammanfattning : A feasibility study of reliability theory as a tool for the assessment of present safety and residual service life of damaged concrete structures has been performed in order to find a transparent methodology for the assessment procedure. It is concluded that the current guidelines are open to interpretation and that the variation in the results obtained regarding the structural safety is too great to be acceptable. LÄS MER
24. Sliding stability re-assessment of concrete dams with bonded concrete-rock interfaces
Sammanfattning : The shear strength of the concrete-rock interface is an important parameter in sliding stability analyses of concrete dams founded on rock and depends, in addition to the normal stress state, on the bonding conditions of the interface; concrete-rock interfaces can be either unbonded, partially bonded or fully bonded.In the Swedish guidelines for dam safety all dam-foundation contacts are treated as unbonded.

25. Automated performance monitoring of concrete dams
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
