Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1019-1049, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Effect of Contraction and Construction Joint Quality on the Static Performance of Concrete Arch Dams

Infrastructures
The structural integrity of concrete arch dams is critical to ensuring their long-term stability and safety, particularly under seasonal thermal variations. In this study, the effect of contraction and construction joint quality on the static performance

Be analysis of bottom sediments in dynamic fluid-structure interaction problems [PDF]

, 2006
Sediment materials play an important role on the dynamic response of large structures where fluid-soil-structure interaction is relevant and materials of that kind are present. Dam-reservoir systems and harbor structures are examples of civil engineering

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 802-837, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

EFFECTIVE SEDIMENT CONTROL IN A RESERVOIR [PDF]

, 2014
Sedimentation in a reservoir cannot be avoided. The average rate of sedimentation on the storage volume reduction of a reservoir in the world is about 1 % per year (Yoon,1992), meanwhile, the storage volume reduction in several reservoir in Indonesia ...

Achieving Net‐Zero in the Electricity Sector in China by 2050 Considering Environmental and Economic Objectives

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
China's pathways to net‐zero electricity by 2050 are evaluated using life cycle environmental and economic assessment across six scenarios. Results show that a renewables‐only grid offers the best overall environmental performance and lowest cost, but increases burdens on metal depletion, land use, and ecotoxicity.
