[ 1 ] - Investigating the Effects of Vertical Joint on the Seismic Behavior of Arched Concrete Dams under Non uniform Excitation (Case Study of Karun4 Dam)
Dam behavior investigation has been considered for a long time, with many studies conducted to identify and predict factors influencing such structures. In common dynamic analyses of dams, an input acceleration is typically used. At the same time, it was proved that such structures with a large contact with the ground usually experience different accelerations in their various supporting points...
[ 2 ] - Numerical simulation of the effect of uplift on seismic behavior of uncontrolled surface steel tanks with Abaqus software
Ground cylindrical steel fluid storage tanks are widely used in different industries. Regarding the significance of these structures, it is important to establish their proper performance in earthquakes by evaluating their seismic performance. The present study examines the seismic behavior of an unanchored fluid storage system via ABAQUS after validation using an experimental model. Next, the ...
[ 3 ] - 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...
[ 4 ] - Numerical investigation of variable uplift distribution at the level of landslide-induced acceleration at the concrete dam body crack position
The study of seismic behavior of concrete dams has been considered by many researchers due to the importance of dam safety during earthquakes. Because the destruction of these structures by earthquakes can have adverse economic and social effects. On the other hand, predicting the behavior of concrete dams during an earthquake is one of the most complex and difficult issues in structural dynami...
