Dynamic Soil Structure Interaction Study [PDF]

, 2014
The effect of the surrounding soil, as depicted by the soil-structure interaction effect, on the dynamic behavior of Brezina concrete gravity arch dam, located in El-Beyadh at the west of Algeria, is investigated in the present study.

A Fluvio‐Lacustrine Environment Preserved in the Jezero Crater Inlet Channel, Neretva Vallis, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Martian fluvial valleys provide evidence for the surface flow of liquid water, making them a key target for rover‐based investigations of ancient habitability. The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover spent ∼85 sols exploring the Bright Angel formation, exposed across the floor of Neretva Vallis: the western inlet channel of Jezero crater.

Synchronized Multidisciplinary Observations in Large‐Scale Dam Breach Experiments to Enhance the Understanding of Dam Failure Evolution

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Natural landslide dams pose severe hazards when they fail, and understanding their breach processes remain challenging because such events are rarely observed directly in the field. To address this gap, we conducted large‐scale overtopping experiments with compacted (CP) and non‐compacted (NCP) dams, supported by a synchronized multi‐sensor ...

Probabilistic Safety Evaluation of a Concrete arch dam Based on Finite Element Modeling and A Reliability L-R Approach

Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports, 2019
The safety assessment of the Pacoima arch dam is investigated in this paper. A Load – Resistance (L-R) method was used to ensure that the dam is safe or if it is at risk of failure. The “probabilistic design system” ANSYS finite element software was used

THE CONTESTED URBANISM OF ABANDONMENT: The Afterlife of Two Distressed Neighborhoods in Detroit

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 5-23, January 2026.
Abstract In post‐industrial cities in decline, what happens to leftover spaces after abandonment? This question lies at the root of trying to make sense of entrenched distress in neighborhoods in deindustrializing Detroit, a city struggling for more than five decades with disinvestment, job losses, population shrinkage, a collapsed housing market ...

The Dynamic Response of an Arch Dam During a Recorded Low-Intensity Earthquake

Applied Sciences
The dynamic behavior of a concrete arch dam, the Baixo Sabor dam, built in Portugal, is investigated. A numerical model was developed to represent the dam, foundation, and reservoir system.

Mechanical Characteristics and Collapse Process Simulation of Tunnel Under Seismic Loading During Construction: A Case Study of a Deep Diversion Tunnel in Southwest China

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
To investigate the collapse mechanisms of diversion tunnels during construction under seismic loading, a coupled continuum‐discrete numerical simulation method was employed. Before seismic excitation, the initial support system was generally stable, with minor damage observed at the arch foot and arch crown (damage coefficient <0.033).
