Optimization of time and temperature of dam construction for thermal analysis of RCC dam

In RCC dams, usually large amounts of concrete are poured in a short time that the heat generated by the cement hydration has led to an increase in temperature in the dam body. In this research, Abacus software, which is a finite element software, has been used for thermal analysis of the dam during construction and concreting. This is how thermal changes are applied. For the structure of 50 c...

Environmental risk assessment of a dam during construction phase

The present study was conducted to assess the possible risks induced by construction of Gavi Dam in Ilam Province; western part of Iran, using MIKE-11 model and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution. For this purpose, vulnerable zone of the dam site against the flooding risk of Gavi River was calculated for different return periods. The flooding zones were stimulated...
