Dam safety monitoring is of vital importance, due to the high number fatalities and large economic damage that a failure might imply. This, along with evolution artificial intelligence, has led machine learning techniques being increasingly applied in this field. Many researchers have successfully trained models predict dam behavior, but errors vary depending on method used, meaning optimal mod...

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...

The Nile River stretches from south to north throughout the Basin (NRB) in Northeast Africa. Ethiopia, where Blue originates, has begun construction of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which will be used generate electricity. However, impact GERD on land deformation caused by significant water relocation not been rigorously considered scientific research. In this study, we develop a nove...

The 2020 Jiashi Mw 6.0 earthquake occurred at the Kepingtage fold-and-thrust belt in South Tianshan front, Northwestern China. ground shaking caused extensive co-seismic deformation of Xiker dam meizoseismal area. We obtained strata distribution characteristics foundation through drilling. Using laboratory and situ tests, particle size distribution, standard penetration, shear wave velocity eac...

The Xiaolangdi Dam is a key project for the control and development of Yellow River. It bears functions flood control, controlling water sediment in lower reaches, ice prevention, industrial agricultural supply, power generation, so on. Its safety related to people’s life property local economic social development. great significance carry out comprehensive regular deformation monitoring dams s...

Abstract After the completion of Three Gorges Dam, it increases risk inducing an earthquake. We use GRACE Gravity Field Model to analyze relationship between operation Reservoir and change gravity field in western Sichuan. The research results indicate that reservoir water level Sichuan gravitational are positively correlated. In early stage rising level, is not apparent, gradually with time. T...
