Dam and powerhouse operation sustainability is a major concern from the hydraulic
engineering perspective. Powerhouse operation is one of the main sources of vibrations in …

Earthquakes and freeze-thaw cycles are two important causes of landslides, but knowledge
of their combined effect is limited. Therefore, a freeze-thaw test and large-scale shaking …

Quantitative failure monitoring is a critical tool for safety assessment of concrete dams. This
includes damage occurrence, intensity, location, number, size, and propagation pattern …

The nonlinear response of concrete gravity dam-reservoir system has been investigated by
conducting experiments on small scale model of Koyna dam on a horizontal shake table …

Near field ground motions trigger higher damage to the structures due to the presence of
distinct velocity pulses which are absent in far field ground motions. The present study deals …

There are a series of human or natural activities, including earthquakes, explosions, and
rockbursts, which have caused a number of safety accidents in geotechnical engineering …

Modeling the material behavior and estimation of the cracking capacity of concrete dams
under the dynamic loading is important for safety operation purposes. In the present paper …

In the context of performance-based engineering (PBE), it is essential to determine a
functional relationship for the response in terms of externally (such as hydraulic or seismic) …

This paper proposes a practical videogrammetric technique to measure shaking table tests
of multi-layer structure models using two CMOS cameras. Three major issues, including high …

Concrete gravity dams are susceptible to sudden failure under specific dynamic loading
conditions such as earthquakes. In the present study, the authors explore an integrated …
