The Janneh dam is a 162-meter high Roller Compacted Concrete arch-gravity dam under construction in the Nahr Ibrahim Valley of Lebanon. The impounded reservoir will supply water, irrigate agricultural areas and generate hydropower [1]. The dam will serve the Northern areas of Greater Beirut Mount Lebanon [2]. The project site is located in highseismicity region. The Peak Ground Accelerations ar...

There are varieties of techniques for calculating natural frequency of the structures. Nevertheless, these equations are less developed in the geotechnical structures such as slopes, buttress group, dams, and retaining walls. In earth dams, with respecting to the dimensions and weight of dam, soil-structure interaction is of prime importance for finding seismic parameters including natural freq...

Activity handover within engineering construction projects is time consuming, takes longer than the actual activities, and therefore, can cause duration delays. This paper presents relay chain seamless handover (RCSH) technology, which is based on relay technology theory and actor-network theory. This study systematically elaborated the RCSH processes, activity relay flows, and methods to addre...

In this article, a digital twin is numerical model of dam–foundation system with physical basis. A exhibits complex behavior and, therefore, significant simplifications are necessary for to be feasible, which reduces model’s accuracy. Differences in the material characteristics particular regions dam and foundation usually not considered. An important reason that high computational cost calibra...

Dam break is considered as a major catastrophe with significant negative economic, social, and environmental consequences, thus must be prevented at any cost. Here, we report analyze near-miss dam incident in Toddbrook dam, England during the August 2019 flooding, where spillway of failed putting entire risk failure. A combination field surveys, desk studies numerical modelling applied to devel...

It is proposed to use a single base platform in the Persian Gulf considering its low depth and more appropriate environmental conditions in comparison to North Sea and Mexico Gulf where this kind of platform is very popular. The pile of platform is responsible for transmission of environmental loads resulted from waves, currents, wind and dead loads to foundation of platform. Using SACS 5.3 sof...
