Evaluating the condition of the original concrete of large structures built in the early twentieth
century is an important part of safety review programs. However, in most large concrete …

The displacement at arbitrary point in the dam is composed of two parts: One is the elastic
deformation of dam body and the other that is due to the constrained deformation of …

A original strategy for optimizing the inversion of concrete dam parameters based on the
multi-strategy improved Sooty Tern Optimization algorithm (MSSTOA) is proposed to …

The mechanical parameters of materials in a dam body and dam foundation tend to change
when dams are reinforced in aging processes. It is important to use an early-warning index …

Determining vibration characteristics constitutes the first step in calibrating the finite element
model in an old arch dam analysis. These characteristics provide the required information …

An inverse modeling process is proposed to estimate the actual elasticity modulus of a high
arch dam based on unconstrained Lagrange support vector regression (ULSVR) and …

Real‐time monitoring of the actual elastic modulus is essential and necessary to ensure the
safe operation of arch dams. The zoning elastic modulus of a high arch dam is inversed by …

The material mechanical parameters of the dam body and foundation will change when a
dam is reinforced during the aging process. This causes significant changes in the structural …

A new approach was developed for the inversion modeling of dam‐zoning elasticity
modulus for heightened concrete dam, with old and new concrete zones. The proposed …

This paper examines the dynamic response of an arch dam subjected to blast loading. A
damage model is developed for three dimensional analysis of arch dams. The modified …
