Mark‐recapture studies using fluorochrome dyes are a valuable approach for validating the age determination of fish, yet the optimal chemical marker and its dosage for adult European flounder (Platichthys flesus Linnaeus, 1758) remain unclear. We assessed the effectiveness of tetracycline hydrochloride and calcein at different concentrations for ...

Modeling Static Behavior of Rockfill Materials Based on Generalized Plasticity Model
Rockfill materials are commonly used for dam construction. Establishing an effective model that can reasonably describe the mechanical properties of rockfill material is very important for the calculation of earth-rock dam engineering.

Seismic responses of high concrete face rockfill dams: A case study
Seismic responses of the Zipingpu concrete face rockfill dam were analyzed using the finite element method. The dynamic behavior of rockfill materials was modeled with a viscoelastic model and an empirical permanent strain model.

Abstract Addressing the limitations of traditional overtopping risk analysis methods, which either consider only a single failure mode or fail to accurately characterize the nonlinear characteristics of reservoir levels, this paper proposes a novel overtopping risk model for dams.

Filling standards and gradation optimization of rockfill materials
Based on the fractal theory, a large number of relative density tests, compression tests and triaxial tests on rockfill are carried out. The relationships among gradation, dry density, compressive modulus, failure strength and particle breakage of ...

Abstract The Giant Mine (1948–1999) generated 16 Mt of Au‐bearing mill tailings (2800 mg kg−1) originating from a mixture of flotation tailings (84.8 wt%), calcine residues (14.4 wt.%), and arsenic trioxide roaster waste (0.8 wt.%). A water treatment system for high As mine dewatering effluent has operated since the end of mine operations, with the ...

Influence of particle breakage on scale effect of filling characteristics of rockfill material
The filling characteristics of rockfill materials are closely related to their mechanical properties. They can be changed by particle breakage, which is one of the main factors of the scale effect of rockfill materials.

A characterization model for time‐dependent displacement of concrete dams
Abstract Time‐dependent displacement caused by creep and shrinkage can significantly affect the structural performance and even shorten the service life of a concrete structure, which is designed for decades or longer, resulting in a safety risk. Unlike in long‐spanning structures such as bridges, where the time‐dependent displacement is readily ...
