Modeling water penetration at dam-foundation joint [PDF]
, 2007 When fracture occurs in a concrete dam, the crack mouth is typically exposed to water. Very often this phenomenon occurs at the dam-foundation joint and is driven also by the fluid pressure inside the crack.

Effective Lagrangian from Higher Curvature Terms: Absence of vDVZ Discontinuity in AdS Space [PDF]
, 2001 We argue that the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov discontinuity arising in the $M^2 \to 0$ limit of the massive graviton through an explicit Pauli-Fierz mass term could be absent in anti de Sitter space.

Observational Signatures of Quantum Gravity in Interferometers [PDF]
, 2019 We consider the uncertainty in the arm length of an interferometer due to metric fluctuations from the quantum nature of gravity, proposing a concrete microscopic model of energy fluctuations in holographic degrees of freedom on the surface bounding a ...

Predicting seismic damage on concrete gravity dams: a review
Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2022 The seismic assessment of concrete gravity dams is a problem of prediction of cracking and the corresponding consequences. With the widespread use of general-purpose finite element programs, the work in the field has shifted towards quantifying the behaviour in a framework for assessment.

Advanced Functional Materials for Marine Energy Utilization
Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.Marine renewable energy is an important future clean energy supply. We construct and sort out the material system for marine energy capture and conversion, transmission, storage, and utilization for the first time. ABSTRACT Several features of marine energy, including large reserves, sustainable utilization, environmental friendliness, make it a ...

Dynamic analysis of concrete gravity dam with RS-DAM [PDF]
, 2015 In the thesis there is a short summary about concrete gravity dams, earthquakes and the damage they caused on concrete dams around the world. Later on, a computer program RSDAM, that is designed to evaluate the transient response of a cracked section, is

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the last several years, disaster insurance programs around the world have experienced disruptions that many observers interpret to be a primary symptom of “climate crisis” (Bittle 2024). Governments have responded to these disruptions through disjointed and at times contradictory measures: they treat disasters, alternately, as “Acts of God”
