Ultimate a seismic capacity of high earth-rock dams based on stochastic dynamic analysis
The randomness of seismic motion significantly affects the dynamic response of dams. The ultimate capacity is a critical factor for the seismic safety of dams, thus during the assessment process the influences of load randomness should be thoroughly ...

Study on Deformation Characteristics of Gate Dam and Earth-Rock Dam System on Deep Overburden
The gate dam and earth-rock dam system offers advantages such as minimal ecological impact and strong terrain adaptability, making them the preferred dam type for low-head, high-flow river areas with thick overburden layers. This study, based on a ongoing construction project, pioneered a comprehensive three-dimensional stress-deformation ...

ABSTRACT The hypotheses of Senonian flint to be a prime source of prehistoric “chalcedony” flint artefacts from the Negev Desert (Israel) was not investigated in detail thus far. By combining trace‐element profiling with statistical interpretation, ten flint items from Nahal Zahal, an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site in the northern Negev, were ...
