Theoretical framework for updating cross‐sections in river models using non‐standard information coming from crowdsourced images

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract During high rainfall events, one reason for flooding in urban rivers is hydraulic blockages or obstructions in channels. These may cause damming and an immediate increase in upstream water levels, leading to inundation of surroundings. The accuracy of flood models is strongly dependent on the representation of the topography of floodplain and ...

Predicting seismic damage on concrete gravity dams: a review

open access: yesStructure 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.

Study of structural stability of a concrete gravity dam using a reliability approach� [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Dam safety is a priority at the international level, it requires a large amount of data that allows analysts to make optimization on its structural stability, the latter is based on the estimation of the probability of failure from the effects of stress ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Seismic Simulation and Base Sliding of Concrete Gravity Dams

open access: yes, 2010
A simplified procedure to estimate possible base sliding of concrete gravity dams induced by an earthquake is proposed on the basis of results obtained by parametric analysis. A simple mechanical model is developed to take into account the most relevant parameters influencing seismic response such as dam-water and dam-foundation interaction.

Type Selection between Arch Dam and Gravity Dam Based on Construction Simulation: A Case Study

open access: yes, 2023
The issue of dam type selection is a prevalent challenge in water resource allocation engineering. The site of the Y2 dam in China is suitable for building concrete arch dams and roller-compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dams.
