Embankment overtopping protection systems
For the last decades, the design floods of numerous embankment reservoirs were re-evaluated, and the revised spillway outflows are typically larger than those used in the original designs. As a result, a number of overtopping protection systems were developed for embankments and earthfill dams, with applications encompassing river dykes, coastal barriers for storm surge and tsunami protections....
متن کاملA New Technique for Quality Assessment of Railway Ballast Materials
The influence of main quality tests on the overall quality of railway ballast materials is assessed in this study. The need to integrate all acceptance tests in a unified manner for precise evaluation of ballast quality is identified, and a technique of performing this is proposed. Using this approach, a new ballast quality index (BQI) is defined in which, the main acceptance tests including ab...
متن کاملDevelopment of fragility curves for retrofitted
This study focuses on developing fragility-based seismic vulnerability assessment techniques for seismically retrofitted multi-column bridge bent. Fragility curves are developed using Probabilistic Seismic Demand Model (PSDM) to assess the relative performance of different retrofit methods under near fault ground motions. Two different retrofit techniques namely CFRP jacketing and ECC jacketing...
متن کاملDevelopment of Fragility and Reliability Curves and Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation of Talehzang Concrete Bridge
Bridges are potentially one of the most seismically vulnerable structures in the highway system during earthquake 
 
events. It is known that the seismic performance of transportation systems plays a key role in the post-earthquake emergency management. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate both physical and functional aspects of bridge structures. The physical aspects of the seismic perform...
