Temperature field forecast in concrete dam with the use of ARIMA models and the finite element method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This article describes a forecasting method, with the application of statistical models Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and a heat conduction model to forecast the temperature field in a buttress block of Itaipu dam. Monthly temperature

How AI and Digital Technologies Can Enhance Sustainable Livestock Manure Management: An Overview From Treatment to Distribution

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable livestock manure management sits at the nexus of climate, nutrient circularity and water quality. This review explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms are used across four management stages, that is, treatment, storage, valorisation and distribution, and figures out where integration fails to deliver ...

Examining the Political Dimensions of Sustainability: The Role of Freedom of Expression in Environmental Outcomes

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although significant efforts have been made to prevent environmental degradation, the success of these initiatives has remained limited. The primary reason for this is environmental issues' complex and multidimensional nature. Economic, political, and social dynamics play a central role in shaping environmental problems, necessitating a ...

Effect of foundation stiffness on the fragility curves of a concrete gravity dam under far-field ground motions

open access: yesResults in Engineering
The finite element method is used to model the dam-reservoir-foundation interaction system, with the Latyan dam in Iran as a case study. A comprehensive concrete damage plastic model is employed to simulate the nonlinear behavior of concrete ...

Phreatic seepage flow through an earth dam with an impeding strip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
New mathematical models are developed and corresponding boundary value problems are analytically and numerically solved for Darcian flows in earth (rock)–filled dams, which have a vertical impermeable barrier on the downstream slope.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.
