Seepage Face and Reliability Indexes of Anisotropic Homogenous Dam at Steady State Condition

Evaluation of seismic responses of earth dams in the steady-state seepage (a case study: Shamil Dam)

Considering the high seismic potential in most parts of Iran, the importance of studying the behavior of earth dams under earthquake loading, especially in the southern regions, is very important due to the number of these dams and seismicity of the Zagros mountain range. In recent years, many studies have been performed on the effects of earthquakes on earth dams, but these structures exhibit ...

Evaluation and Rehabilitation of the Seepage Problems at the Fengman Dam

Based on geological information of the Fengman dam, the seepage flow of the dam is analyzed. There are many different affecting factors on seepage problem, for example: the effect of the parameter of concrete, cut-off wall, the permeability coefficient of cut-off wall, drainage hole and grout curtains etc. On the basis of the research, the seepage control mechanism and effectiveness of the seep...

Two-dimensional Steady-state Oscillation Problems of Anisotropic Elasticity

The paper deals with the two-dimensional exterior boundary value problems of the steady-state oscillation theory for anisotropic elastic bodies. By means of the limiting absorption principle the fundamental matrix of the oscillation equations is constructed and the generalized radiation conditions of Sommerfeld–Kupradze type are established. Uniqueness theorems of the basic and mixed type bound...

A Survey for the Selection of Control Structure for Distillation Columns Based on Steady State Controllability Indexes

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Valproic Acid in Patients with Monotherapy at Steady State

Objective(s) The role of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in patient care has grown rapidly since its introduction three decades ago. The aim of present study was to evaluate the possible relationship between serum levels and the clinical response of valproic acid (VPA). Materials and Methods In the present study we evaluated a homogeneous group of adult patients receiving VPA monotherapy. ...
