A theoretical model is developed for transient water pressure variations along a tensile
seismic concrete crack with known crack wall motion history. Experimental tests are …

The strength of cementitious materials is strongly related to their microstructures. This paper
aims to investigate the effect of high-pressure water on the static and dynamic tensile …

A novel sealing device that has a minimal effect on the mechanical behaviour of concrete
specimens is proposed in this paper. This device connects one side of silicon plates to a …

In the safety analysis of concrete gravity dams it is necessary to consider the external load
and internal load of the dam body within a reasonable range, in which the influence of …
