Application Study of Optical Fiber Grating Sensor in Gravity Dam Structure Model Test

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2009
:During the research of hydraulic structure model test,the displacement and strain of dam body and dam foundation are mainly measured by displacement transducers and foil resistance strain gauges on the surface.For the internal deformation of model under

Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Arch Dam due to Earthquake Force [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering
A gravity dam with concrete is a vast construction that keeps a large volume of water on its upstream side, and its ability to withstand seismic vibrations is critical.

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Development of methology for seismic design of concrete gravity dam [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Earthquake analysis and earthquake resistance design of dams is of major importance because of the catastrophic consequences if such a structure is to fail.

Pseudo‐dynamic testing of a concrete gravity dam

open access: yes, 2015
Inspired from the simplified single degree of freedom modeling approach used in the preliminary design of concrete gravity dams, a pseudo-dynamic testing method was devised for the seismic testing of a concrete gravity dam section.

Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Tensile reliability analysis for gravity dam foundation surface based on FEM and response surface method

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2010
In this study, the limit state equation for tensile reliability analysis of the foundation surface of a gravity dam was established. The possible crack length was set as the action effect and allowable crack length was set as the resistance in the limit ...

Ecologization Is Not a Metaphor: Museums in the Web of Life

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article documents and critiques emerging accounts of museum “ecologization”. Drawing on political ecology, materialist theory, and contemporary museum practice, we challenge dominant frameworks of ecological modernization and advocate for a more critical understanding of museums in the web of life.

Stability analysis of concrete gravity dam on complicated foundation with multiple slide planes

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2008
A key problem in gravity dam design is providing enough stability to prevent slide, and the difficulty increases if there are several weak structural planes in the dam foundation.
