Abstract:

Multi-purpose project requirements lead to construction of large dams. In order to maintain the desired safety level of such dams, comprehensive inspections based on use of a number of precise instruments are needed. The ideal dam instrumentation system should provide time-dependent information about critical parameters so that possible future behavior of the structure can be predicted. New dams are normally equipped with adequate instrumentation systems. Most of the existing dams, however, do not have adequate instruments or current instrumentation systems may not be in good condition. By imp

Abstract:

Until recently, research has been scarce in the field of physical modelling of dam breaching. Over the past few years, teams from the University of Ottawa, Canada, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, and HR Wallingford, United Kingdom have worked on several physical models to help determine how various dam breaching characteristics vary due to changes in dam geometry and geotechnical properties. The purpose of this project is to use these new experimental data sets to compare and validate the applicability range of two existing pieces of software, MIKE11-DB and BREACH developed by the

River blockages formed by rock avalanches appear to pose a higher hazard potential than other landslide dams, given the extreme run-out distances and volumes of rock avalanche deposits. Recent research has identified rock avalanche deposits to have internal sedimentology consisting of a coarse surficial material (carapace) and a finer fragmented interior (body) potentially of critical importance to rock-avalanche dam stability. Physical scale modelling of overtopping failure and breach development in rock avalanche dams was used to quantify the influence of this sedimentology on critical breac

Abstract:

In recent years, the United States has seen a high demand for dam rehabilitation projects as most dam infrastructure has started to reach or exceed the expected life span of 50-70 years. Rehabilitation projects can be very expensive, however, and the funding options for dam owners are limited. To raise awareness, organizations such as ASDSO and the Virginia DCR release cost estimates every few years to encourage more investment in dam infrastructure. Unfortunately, many cost estimates have been made with limited data and outdated methodologies. This research collects a new sample of cost data

Abstract:

Dams are important large structures providing vital benefits to human life. These strategic structures are necessary in order to supply water and energy and to control floods. Moreover, dams have important roles in regional development and national economy. Thus, the design of dams deserves rigorous studies. Deterministic approach may be acceptable for design of dams and may satisfy safety requirements if large safety factors are used. However, such an approach will not be cost-effective in economic terms. High safety factors utilized in deterministic approaches necessitates large dimensions.

Storage and management of mine waste are both needed in the mining industry. After mineral extraction of the ore, there are generally leftovers with insufficient economical value that need to be taken care of. The finest grained fractions are referred to as tailings. Since every mine site and every tailings impoundment is unique, there is unfortunately not an universal answer to proper management that can be applied everywhere. Even though local guidelines and regulations can be considered to give a best practice in terms of design, there is correspondingly a need for dam safety stewardship on

Abstract:

A represa das Antas e represa Bortolan fazem parte da Sub-Bacia Hidrográfica do Ribeirão das Antas, sendo que a primeira sofre impacto de uma mineradora de urânio (UTM/INB), uma vez que recebe despejos de efluentes radioativos tratados procedentes de DAM, já a represa Bortolan recebe maior influência da malha urbana de Poços de Caldas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a diversidade da comunidade zooplanctônica, bem como realizar a caracterização física e química da UTM/INB e represas das Antas e Bortolan. Diferenças em relação às condições físicas, químicas e a comunidade foram verif

Abstract:

In this study a recent dam type, concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD), its design and behaviour is overviewed. The design features of G&ouml<br>k&ccedil<br>eler Dam are introduced as a case study. Selection of concrete face rockfill type for G&ouml<br>k&ccedil<br>eler Dam Project is discussed together with the other two alternatives, namely earth core rockfill (ECRD) and roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam. G&ouml<br>k&ccedil<br>eler Dam type selection as concrete face rockfill dam is also verified by an economic analysis conducted calculating internal rate of return for all alternative types. In

Abstract:

L’application des approches probabilistes pour tenir compte des incertitudes dans le domaine des barrages est un sujet en développement. Cependant, la plupart des études ont été réalisées sur l’évaluation de la sécurité des barrages pendant leur service. Ce travail de thèse vise à appliquer ce type d’approches et à faire une contribution à l’analyse de risque des barrages en béton compacté au rouleau (BCR) d`es sa construction, à l’aide d’une simulation numérique. Les travaux présentés dans ce manuscrit proposent l’application d’une méthodologie qui vise à quantifier la vulnérabilité vis-à-vis
