Given the recent impetus for probabilistic based analyses of dams, and the limited previous
attempts to address this timely question, there is a need for a comprehensive assessment of …

The digital image correlation (DIC) technique is employed to investigate the fracture process
at rock-concrete interfaces under three-point bending (TPB), and four-point shearing (FPS) …

This paper addresses the probabilistic seismic demand model (PSDM) which is the
relationship between the intensity measure (IM)(such as spectral acceleration) and the …

Suitable numerical models of masonry structures are very important in their response
evaluation under various loading events. Masonry is a heterogeneous material, made of …

A new method to combine interface damage and friction in a cohesive‐zone model is
proposed. Starting from the mesomechanical assumption, typically made in a damage …

The concrete dam can prevent flooding events and generate a vast amount of electricity, and
it is a critical national infrastructure. However, it is easy to get cracked, and cracks usually …

To investigate fracture properties and find analytical solutions of fracture parameters at rock-
concrete interface, three-point bending tests were performed on the composite rock-concrete …

This paper presents possible combination of structural responses of concrete dams with
machine learning techniques. Support vector machine (SVM) method is adopted and two …

Intermediate crack-induced debonding (IC debonding) is a common failure mode of RC
beams strengthened with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement …

In recent years, the authors have proposed a new double‐node zero‐thickness interface
element for diffusion analysis via the finite element method (FEM)(Int. J. Numer. Anal. Meth …
