The current paper's goal is to investigate how dynamic interaction phenomena and material nonlinearities affect the behavior of a concrete gravity multi-arch dam in terms maximum displacements, natural stresses, principal Von Mises stresses when subjected seismic excitation. Utilizing ANSYS APDL software, linear nonlinear transient analysis using finite element method was employed analyze betwe...

Concrete and steel are the most widely used major materials for constructing civil structures such as bridges, dam, and buildings. From the acoustic emission (AE) point of view, contrary to steel itself, a lot of AE signals are acquired in concrete itself under service loads whether the crack is active or not. This paper aims to identify the differences of AE event patterns caused by developing...

The article provides recommendations on the possibility of implementing an automated system diagnostical control over operational condition a dam. Implementation BING-3 allows to opening cracks in concrete structures, take readings from piezometers and air temperature sensors automatic regime. gives analysis instruments used for diagnostics reasons failure certain devices. It has been establish...
