The Benínar Dam, located in Southeastern Spain, is an earth-fill dam that has experienced filtration issues since its construction 1985. Despite the installation of various monitoring systems, data collected are sparse and inadequate for dam’s lifetime. present research integrates Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) modeling to validate this dam, opening way enhan...

During consolidation process of saturated cohesive soil the soil stiffness increases. Increase of the effective stress due to dissipation of excess pore pressure causes additional stiffness of soil mass. This phenomenon has a very important effect on the behavior of saturated cohesive soils during dynamic loading. In the current investigation the changes in maximum shear modulus. Gmax and dampi...

Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...

The behavior of earth dams has particular complexities against dynamic forces and its assessment requiresdetailed and scientific analysis. The Farrokhi earth dam is a heterogeneous type with vertical clay core, built 150 km away from Birjand and 41 km away from Qaen on the Farrokhi River. There are concernsregarding the stability of this dam in the event of a future severe earthquake especially...

Abstract Deformation monitoring is a common practice in most of dams to ensure their structural health and safety status. Systematic frequently carried out by means geotechnical sensors geodetic techniques that, although very precise an accurate, can be time-consuming economically costly. Remote sensing are proved effective assessing deformation. Changes the structure, shell or associated infra...

a survey on endo-parasitic infections on barboid fishes of south- west of iran (khouzestan province) was carried out from spring 2007 to atumn 2009. altogether 296 specimens from five different fish species were examined, they are barbus grypus heckel, 1843; barbus sharpeyi günther, 1874; barbus esocinus heckel, 1843; barbus barbulus heckel, 1849 and barbus pectoralis heckel 1843. the fishes we...
