Optimal placement of smart sensors for RCC dams structural health monitoring using Monte- Carlo [PDF]
Building RCC dams involves pouring and compacting concrete in small layers (30 cm), one on top of another, creating a joint between each layer. This joint could potentially become the “ideal” joint depending on the temperature and lag time between each ...

Behaviors of Pipe-Soil Interaction on Unstable Slopes by Finite Element Simulation
Pipe-soil interaction plays an important role to the pipe stress analysis subjected to soil movement due to slope instability and/or slope failure. As the soils / slopes begin to fail, a single pipe or a group of pipes buried inside failure zone will ...

New methodology for calculating damage variables evolution in Plastic Damage Model for RC structures [PDF]
The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under severe demands, as strong ground motions, is highly complex; this is mainly due to joint operation of concrete and steel, with several coupled failure modes.
