Horizontal and Vertical Movement of Concrete Dam Erecting on Sandy Soil under Seismic Loading

open access: yesDiyala Journal of Engineering Sciences
Concrete dams are the strongest dams, designed for flood control, electricity generation, and water management. They can become unstable due to ground shaking and earthquake impacts, resulting in stability loss due to embankment and foundation materials

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Level evaluation of concrete dam fractures based on game theory combination weighting-normal cloud model

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials
Hazard evaluation of concrete dam fractures is vital for safe operations. The width (S1), length (S2), and depth (S3) of fractures are adopted as the assessment index, and the game theory combination weighting-normal cloud model is introduced. The normal

Integrating Machine Learning and StoDyM for Check Dam Site Selection on the Loess Plateau, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe soil erosion in the Loess Plateau has led to significant land degradation, threatening agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability. Check dams, as a critical soil–water conservation measure, have proven effective in mitigating sediment loss and reclaiming farmland.
